Alltunes.com Lets Users Download AllofMP3 Songs

Posted by kdawson on from the using-up-the-credit dept.

Stony Stevenson writes with word that, although AllofMP3.com was shut down by the Russian Government this week, customers from the site who have existing credit can still purchase songs through its downloadable windows desktop and smartphone client, allTunes.com. From the article: "A former AllofMP3.com user, who spoke to Computerworld on the condition of anonymity, purchased songs with his existing credit from the allTunes software client today and experienced no trouble doing so... AllofMP3's six million users will no doubt be delighted they can use their leftover credit to purchase songs, but the site's longevity hangs in the balance. Just days after the Russian Government shut down AllofMP3.com, its sister site, MP3Sparks.com, suffered the same fate."

    What I don't understand, why aren't people reading their own comments (proof-reading there words, it's common in written speech)? I understand the logic behind poor grammar, but why support an author that cannot produce comprehensible English?!? (I understand they also don't produce comprehensible German, but I don't care about that) Is writing proper English that difficult for many people?!? Perhaps I should write another article which explains to the user how to do this? I had a previous article published on englishnewswire.net, but that was written in or around 2000, and since I can't contact the englishnewswire site Op's, I can't update the article (using Punctuation and capital Letter's creatively). Or perhaps people are just too lazy to bother trying to communicate clearly?!?

    It had nothing to do with Iraq, Iran or the "missile shield", it was about IP rights.

    No, I think that was sorted out a long time ago (conditions on Russia joining the WTO). I believe the only reason they went fishing was so Bush could regail Putin with some crap jokes he found on Slashdot:

    1. In Soviet Russia fish catch YOU!
    2. All your allofmp3 are belong to us!
    3. In Soviet Russia missiles shield YOU!
    4. ???
    5. International Diplomacy!

    Putin would have been pissed off with all this, but whilst George W. was talking shit: he caught a fish.

    allofmp3's credits weren't redacted. Of course they weren't redacted. Why would anyone feel the need to put them into proper literary form to be published? How would you even do that?

    The art of parody is lost on the grammar Nazi.

    My, how dense you are, AC.

    But you're right, I suppose. It is funnier your way. I just can't stop laughing about the way you sling about your grammatical corrections and editorial remarks.

    It reeks of genuine hilarity, and I thank you for that. Your veraciousness is to be applauded.
