AllofMP3 Voucher Resellers Quit After Police Raid

Posted by Zonk on from the squash-enough-bugs-and-the-hive-dies dept.

Broohaha writes "Europeans who resell AllofMP3.com vouchers are quitting the business after a UK raid against one prominent reseller there. An Ars Technica article talks to several of them about their situations. 'Until a few days ago, I had never heard of the IFPI [the international music trade group],' said one reseller. 'But yes, I am concerned about them now. Although my attorney assures me that reselling gift certificates bought from AllOfMP3.com isn't breaking any laws, it isn't worth the possibility of engagement with their legal machine.' The music industry seems determined to choke off AllofMP3's funding, no matter how small the source."

    since when has anybody in the UK called a solicitor or lawyer/barrister an "attorney"
    that word is used almost exclusivly by Americans, was this reseller an American in the UK or was the "quote" edited for a US audience

    smells like bullshit here in London
