AllofMP3

I read the other day that the Russian police were looking into Allofmp3 which is a Russian website which offers albums fro sale for less than a single track would cost you on iTunes. I've used AllofMP3 quite a few times, not just because it is cheap but also because it allows you to buy music with no restrictions on it. You can do what you want with it unlike iTunes & Napster that have various restrictions on them. The other excellent thing about them is you can choose the file format, MP3, WMA, OGG, FLA, etc.. and the quality. No other service offers this and certainly not at the extremely cheap prices.

To give an example I have never paid more than £1 for an album most are under 50p at current exchange rates. Althought AllofMP3 did put there prices up at the beggining of the year, but still unbelievably cheap.

Anyway the Russian police were looking into AllofMP3 probably because the RIAA were complaining but the case has been dropped due to there being basically nothing illegal about it. As AllofMP3 do pay the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society licence fees. The Russian law is very different to U.S. & UK law, maybe one day it will be shut down but don't think it will be any time soon. So get your music while you can. To read some more on the story read this Cnet Report.

Just looks like to me the RIAA has just given AllofMP3 some free advertising.
