I figured that out the first time I saw it. But everyone who used it swore it was legal. Funny that they were paying to steal. :laugh:

Ha ha.

Paying to steal

If the Russian authorities are fully aware of AllofMp3.com and yet have done nothing to prosecute it, it stands to reason that calling it "illegal" in Russia is something an irrelevant exercise.

Here's the *bottom* line. Why should we follow laws, when the laws themselves are made by the private industry? Copyright laws are probably the clearest example of backpocketing of the U.S. legislature by big business.

I'll pay for music when they pay the musicians.

Because music is 100% recorded, distributed, and pulicized by musicians in their garage on their own equipment...besides, a contract is a contract

Now, if you care this much, do you take the time to send a buck to the actual musician any time you steal one of their songs? Or is this just some excuse to help you sleep better at night?

At least Russians can do something right, eh?

What would that be? Kill you with a toothpick?

haha my roommate swore up and down this was legal after reading something about it on fox news. I think the US will not prosecute you for this as they will other means though

Child prostitution rampant in ex-Eastern Bloc, is that OK?

*Warning Honest Post*

Me: Hi, I use/used AllofMp3.com/Bittorrent.
You: It is:

Illegal
Unethical
Immoral
Wrong
deceitful
*insert other derogatory adjective*
Me: Probably, but I am cheap, I like the idea of getting something for free/next to free.

Am I the only one that can be honest and not hide behind the legality/politics surrounding this?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I gotta say this:

I'm a musician, and I frequently study the works of obscure artists. It's a treat to find rare recordings, out of print recordings...you know- things you just can't find anymore (save eBay).

I just found EVERY SINGLE RARE RECORDING I've ever wanted on AllofMP3! I'm in heaven right now! Legal or not, who cares (most of these people died 20 years ago anyway ), but the RIAA really needs to drop the "gimmie gimmie gimmie" crap and allow services to make every recording available.

The US Library system has been able to do it for years- how come an electronic version of that can't be made???

Because it all needs to be "Digitally Remastered" and sold for $15 - $20 a CD for something where they just changed it from its old vinyl recording to a CD.

That's right. Money needs to be made.

Altruism is a fantasy. If you believe in altruism so much, YOU buy the rights to the music, YOU host the website, and YOU pay for the bandwidth to give away music for virtually free.

Oh, wait, you don't like doing work for free and giving away your own hard earned money and time? Neither do musicians, record companies, manufacturers and retailers.

Your thread makes it seem like everyone here thought that it was legal.

The true story is, only a few brain dead idiots here believed it was legal.

$1 an album is less than the RIAA royalties charged per album.

I DON'T CARE. ALLOFMP3 FO LIFE YO

 

[Lurknomore]

Slightly OT, but what about K***t.net, you know, that site with tons of "free" mp3's linked from Flurl.
Gray area, or clearly illegal?

 

[ultimatebob]

Hey... It's legal in Russia anyway, where copyrights own you
