Allofmp3 Shut Down, Again

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the e-roller-coaster dept.

studguy1 writes to tell us TorrentFreak is reporting that the Russian government has shut down Allofmp3, the popular online music site. "AllOfMP3 has been a thorn in the side of the RIAA and the US government for years. Last year, U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab said that if Russia wants to join the WTO, they should shut down the pirate music website that is robbing US recording companies of sales."

    In actuality, most people stopped using Allofmp3 when it became virtually impossible to pay, some months ago. (when Visa pulled the plug)

    The rather more substantial thorn in the record industrys side is now iTunes and Apple.

      That's probably why allofmp3.com is now mp3Sparks.com, including the same logins/passwords and the same typos in the track names and album titles.
