I can't really see anyone wanting to talk about it, especially if the discussion involves AllOfMP3. There have been two attempts to shut it down and neither appear to have succeeded. >From AllOfMP3's point of view, I'd think it would be great if it turns out that they have done no wrong, except discover a loophole in Russian law that they only found out about after their original business model. I'm pretty sure when it first started out that there was not an English webpage - Russian only. That was added later. It would sure make me laugh if it is the case that they do have a license, pay royalties (however small they may be as long as that were what were originally agreed when they were licensed by ROMS - the relevant Russian body in such matters), and are not breaking any laws. I mean - what's going to happen? I'll be looking forward to the day when the RIAA turn their bully boy tactics away from single-parent Texas mums, with internet savvy teenage daughters that couldn't possibly afford to pay the sums they are asking for, having downloaded mp3's and re-aim them at a few extremely pissed-off Audiophiles. They can start by telling me what they are going to do to me if I were to download another copy of Brothers In Arms (having already paid twice) to replace the CD copy that no longer works due to a manufacturing fault and age. After all, I'm pretty sure that printed on the back cover of my original accompanying CD booklet, it says something to the effect that properly cared for, the disk will provide a **LIFETIME** of listening pleasure. Unless actually playing it can be classified as mistreatment, I kept my side of the bargain. ;-) -- JackOfAll ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18642 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
