Hah - that's pretty messed up - and funny.
I wonder how big a chunk "legal fees" are - maybe that's how Russia gets its cut? Otherwise Deep Purple could just give the money back to the organizers. But that could be another opportunity to tax them again? Dunno!

I don't understand.
So the russian organizers paid Deep Purple once for the concert and they have to pay them again now? LOL

Funny title. The decision was pretty stupid and sets a bad precedent for other artists =/.

In the US you have to worry about getting sued by everyone else.
In Russia you have to worry about getting sued by yourself.
