Allofmp3.com is legal - in Russia, anyway

The Register notes that the Russian prosecutor won’t be taking action against Allofmp3.com, thanks to a loophole in Russian copyright law. I’m still unsure whether using the site is legal or illegal for you or I, though - any legally-minded types willing to hazard a guess?

Legality aside, Allofmp3.com is a great way of providing music: you pick the tunes, choose the format, select the bitrate and then pay according to the resulting file size. So if you want 128Kbps MP3s, you can - but if you want the original WAV files, you can have them too. If only our legal download shops would do the same.

“for you or I”? Tsk. And you a professional, too.

I don’t get paid for writing here ;-)

Neither do I. Actually, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that….

Drop me an email, o enigmatic one.

Too bloody enigmatic, by half, clearly. That was a joke. That fell flat on its face. Typically.

Heh. Your comedy genius is clearly too sophisticated for me ;-)
