No, they are not. No matter how you look it at it, THEY ARE LEGAL.
allofmp3.com is NOT legal. PERIOD. Anyone that thinks otherwise is severely mentally handicapped. They wouldn't have the record industry trying to shut them down if they were legal since you kind of need the record industries permission to sell LEGAL music.
And Allofmp3.com gives me the choice of paying more for a FLAC or 320k mp3 compressed file.
Just because a thief offers you choices in the stolen property they sell doesn't mean it's still not stolen.

Ummm...in your zeal, you miss the point: They ARE CURRENTLY LEGAL, because it is CURRENTLY LEGAL TO DO WHAT THEY DO IN RUSSIA.

In any case, our laws mean squat in russia, regardless of if the RIAA/MPAA like it or not.

"Just because a thief offers you choices in the stolen property they sell doesn't mean it's still not stolen."

Since, under russian law they aren't thieves, it appears what they offer is not stolen. For all you really know about them, they could have just went out and bought CD'
s to rip. Obviously, a CD one has bought is not stolen.

Are you RUSSIAN? It's LEGAL to gamble online if you are a Briton. Can you bet online now? Um no. So no they are not legal. If in some county it's legal for a 13 year girl to film porn according to you that means it's pefectly ok for you to view it. Once again NO. American laws may not apply to russian, but they apply to YOU. And it does apply to Russia because it's called FAIR TRADE. I guess since it's ok to sell pirated DVDs in China that means that not stealing either. And yes it is ok in China because they rarely if ever go after them. A law that's not enforced isn't much of a law is it?

It's perfectly legal to buy a product from a website, wherever the site is located.

It is totally LEGAL to download *anything* in Canada..it is just illegal to *share* it. What is happening in Russia is *legal* according to *their* laws...maybe not ours.. Again..allofmp3 isn't going to stop Russia from entering the WTO.

I was going to add...music from allofmp3 was aquired legally and is sold legally...it is up to government to tax it in the form of customs...this income then could go to the artists. Just because it is cheaper doesn't make it illegal. I can buy cheap booze in the US...since US has little taxaton on their alcohol..compared to Canada. Does that mean that Canada should force the US to stop selling booze since it is a fraction of the cost that it is in Canada?? Of course not. Gas in Canada and the US is less then half then most industrialized nations...should the rest of the G7 countries force Canada and the US to raise costs to reflect their costs?? Of course not.

This whole issue is a "Customs" issue. The US can either block the website or have taxes paid on every song bought from a US customer.
