Comments on news posted 2007-07-03 08:48:38: After a long struggle, Russia-based AllofMP3.com was shut down yesterday by the Russian government, who'd faced continued criticism from the U.S. for allowing the music piracy website to flourish. ..

They Broke Russian Law

Their bribe checks to Vladimir Putin must have gotten lost in the mail

Perhaps they should relocate to Estonia.

this makes me chuckle a bit

Well what can I say it is kinda funny. I think this is the kind of stuff that deserves to happen to the RIAA due to the way they treat individual people. I really doubt they will ever be able to stomp it out. Oh and by the way I don't download music that I don't pay for. But I do take joy from the RIAA having a thorn in thier side.

Erm, they've been down longer

I've been trying allofmp3.com and .ru since last Saturday (6/30) and not getting any response.

However, the allofmp3.com explorer has been working right along the whole time. Complete with content updates.

 Allofmp3 shut down as predicted

And the new site won't last long either if it truly is just the same people using a new domain name.

 And they sold their email list to spam outfits

Just noticed too that allofmp3 sold their subscribers email list before shutting the site down.

I have an email dedicated to my allofmp3 account (thanks yahoo for unlimited secondary emails), and I received my first 2 spams to this address this morning...

I guess they wanted to make a few last dollars before shutting the site down.

Where's the Money?

So how do I get my money back from them? If I don't, can I write it off as a tax deduction?

You do realize that you still committed copyright infringement by using their site right? Downloading a free version of the song is no different than using that site.

In other words, you've been wasting your money the whole time.

Not really, the quality of the music plus ease of use was well worth it. I used them in the past, never had an issue.

Lol yah. I wonder when they are going to figure out that people don't think that their music is work $1 a piece anymore. Peronsally I wish they would go down. The artist can make it without them. They are only getting a small portion of the profit while the RIAA sucks up the rest anyway.

We all knew

All knew this was going to happen months ago, it was just a matter of when. The new site has been up for at least a few weeks now. The new site is having the same problem like the the last site, they can't take any credit cards as forms of payment.

About the same time this news comes out, we read of Universal being a thorn in Apple's side and the RIAA being a thorn in the webcaster's side. The RIAA should take example of allofmp3 instead of being a thorn in people's sides.

If it is legal in russia, how does that still make them pirates?

Who cares

Folks, just learn russian language, there are thousands similar websites in russian language and most of them I guess owned by the same people allofmp3 is/was.

They all have the same catalog and sometimes more and all for $0.10 per song....

It is just the allofmp3 became so popular outside of RUNet, that the government had to close them down... Nothing has changed...
