 Allofmp3 is a rogue outfit and will be brought under control

allofmp3 has been illicitly selling copyrighted music it has no license to sell. It has been hiding behind a Russian legal system that has had no incentive to enforce copyright law in Russia. But now Russia wants in to the WTO and the US, which is the largest supplier of intellectual property in the world, wants Russia to enforce IP laws before they can get in. Russia now has the incentive to enforce these laws and allofmp3 is going down as soon as the IFPI drags them into court.

allofmp3 said Tuesday that as of Wednesday, its business model would move toward an ad-supported distribution of free content. The company, which previously charged about $1 an album, plans to offer consumers a new software program that allows them to download any song from the site for free. allofmp3 claims to have a catalogue of hundreds of thousands of albums, increasing at a rate of 1,000 per month.

Users of the new service will only be able to listen to songs by using the allofmp3 software, and the songs will be usable on just one computer at a time. The interface, called Music for the Masses, will initially be available for Microsoft Windows, with an Apple version arriving in several weeks, Mamotin said.

Consumers who wish to transfer their songs between computers or to a music device like an iPod or another MP3 player, will have to pay for the music.

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

Interesting change, but I don't see how offering copyrighted material for free gets them off the hook with the music companies. They are still going to be drug into court.

Is something wrong wrong with allofmp3.com this morning? I cannot get the site to load at all. (It is not my connection, as everything else is zipping along.) Is this happening to anyone else? I am trying to access the site from the US.
