This week we told you the US Trade Representative is calling for AllofMp3's head on a pike. The flipside to that argument has surfaced, and it appears AllofMp3 has lawyered up, and retained the counsel of John Kheit, an IP attorney for Chadbourne & Parke in New York.

Ars Technica spoke with Kheit and has this gem of a quote, "AllofMP3 is legal, and it's not going anywhere," adding, "Legality is not decided by a legislative branch or an executive branch. It's decided by a court"

The question is, which court and under what jurisdiction? AllofMp3's legal grounds are fragile at best, and as useless as nipples on a boar at worst in my humble -- non-lawyer who took some pre-law undergrad courses and decided law wasn't for me -- opinion. However, Kheit is a smart guy, who holds a degree in Computer Science as well as an M.B.A and (obviously, as a practicing attorney) a J.D., he must understand something that I fail to see. I'm not sure in which court, or on what legal standing Kheit is planning to defend his client --AllofMp3 parent company Media Services -- but, I for one can't wait to hear his argument.
