This site is legal - in Russia. Royalties are set aside but no U.S recording label has bothered to pick the royalties up, out of fear that doing so would "legitimize" the site and put them out of favor with the RIAA.

The irony is that despite the much lower price of the music, recording artists stand to make more royalties then they do in the USA.

So the RIAA is pissed. They wouldn't be able to keep 94% of the money for themselves like they do over here. Despite towering prices for music over here ($15.98 for a CD that costs pennies to make), the average recording act only sees a fraction of that. Which is why they feel compelled to tour constantly and charge $80 for tickets.

What's even better about ALLOFMP3.com is that the music you download is free of DRM. Once downloaded, it is yours to do with as you will.

Free of DRM.... thanks. Microsoft/Hollywood/RIAA are in a big alliance with windows VISTA. They want a cut of all the action, even in Russia. VISTA will require DRM checks before you play anything

Microsoft/Hollywood/RIAA have the USA doing it's dirty work abroad in Russia. The GWBush administration is bought and sold here.
