AllofMP3 declared illegal
I started using AllofMP3.com over iTunes because I don’t agree with DRM (digital-rights management) imposed on the music I buy. It is my music, I purchased it, and I feel I should be able to do what I want with it (back it up, play it on any mp3 player, etc.). I also believe the artists deserve to be paid for their work. Hence the dilemma of “where should I download my music from?”
Popular Russian online music download service AllofMP3.com has been declared illegal by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), and prosecutions are reported to be underway. The Moscow-based service, whose market share at 14% comes second only to iTunes in the UK, has been accused of not paying royalties to artists.
It looks like I will be cleaning out my balance with AllofMP3 and resume purchasing songs off of iTunes.
I’m tired of all the problems arounf allofmp3. They do not give me my money back, do not let me download music. So I’ve researched a little and found a new service similar to aom at http://www.mp3sale.ru
They use the same laws and they are cheaper
