Re: Hardly surprising - allofmp3 was a pirate outfit said by guitarzan:All the pirate site has to do, is hand over the names and CC#'s, IP addresses of people who made on line purchases to avoid costly lawsuits or prosecution. Guess, we'll see how much honor there is among thiefs. Hate to burst your bubble, but the Russkys don't have any credit card numbers. Their credit card payments were processed through a respectable company in the Netherlands, IIRC, and they won't be handing over any CC numbers lest they betray the trust of their users.

The Russians may not have credit card numbers.?
Can you rule out, with certainty, there are no Russians or Russian mafia, handling credit card accounts in that respectable company in the Netherlands.?
I guess, we'll have to wait and see the results, when that rickety house of cards topple.

I guess, we'll have to wait and see the results, when that rickety house of cards topple. That's purely conjecture. I don't know why so many people assume the Russian mafia is involved whenever a business starts up there, it seems like a knee jerk reaction. I haven't found any evidence that the Russian mob is behind allofmp3 at all.
Anyway, prior to Visa and Mastercard's ban, the Dutch company that processed allofmp3's payments was Chronopay; you can judge their validity for yourself - Visa and Mastercard seem to respect them. But it seems like a lot of trouble for Russians to incorporate a company in the Netherlands just to process their own payments.

so the only legitimate businesses are ones based in the US?
By the same token, whose to say there isn't any Sicilian mafia handling CC numbers of on-line businesses based in the US? Can you say that there isn't with all certainty?

1 edit | said by scrummie02:so the only legitimate businesses are ones based in the US? You're trying to imply something I have not said. If allofmp3 is really legit, Russia should defend a business contributing to its economy. Yet we see a post like this which suggests otherwise.

Why would a legit business, need to set up shop, by moving to a different country?
said by scrummie02:By the same token, whose to say there isn't any Sicilian mafia handling CC numbers of on-line businesses based in the US? Can you say that there isn't with all certainty? The Sicilian mafia , or La Cosa Nostra has a vast enterprise, that is far reaching. All I can say with certainty, is no one knows, and those who do, are not talking.
Perhaps the RIAA, knows with certainty, whether or not any Sicilians, who have a vow of omertà, have a allofmp3 type web site in Italy selling mp3's.
