There Are No Pirates In Russia


Came across this site, Allofmp3 which from my reading of things looks like a quasi-legal site with inexpensive music downloads. This site allows you to choose the format for your"mp3s" (sic) and you pay not per song or album but by how many megabytes you download.

The site is based in Russia and this seems to be how they get around the copyright issues.

Anyhow, I took a chance and created an account with a $10 (US) initial balance and have downloaded 20 songs for about $2.00 (for those of you without your calculators running that's about 10 cents a song!). And while I'm not 100% sure of the legality of the site I'm pretty sure that they don't provide the artists with anything so I'm a little reluctant to fully endorse it. But if you were just going to download it anyway......
