I heard that Allofmp3 is doing illegal activities that's why visa and mastercard cut their contact w/ Allofmp3. It's really nice that they do that but i cared about the artist and the songwriter, it'll be a lost to their part. Good decision made by the russian authority and the US.

I doubt it..... being a songwriter myself I look forward to the day when I can sell my songs direct to the public and not have to go through record labels as I see no benefit in using them as in my experience they have never had mine or any artists best interests to hand when supposedly fighting for my so called rights to not get ripped off by the end consumer.I only get paid roughly $.10 / $.15 per song from them anyway. ( I say rough as it varies a great deal) but the point is that I would be happy enough if I got paid direct from the consumer for as much as they think it is worth. Unfortunately generally speaking the end user doesn't know how much work goes into writing the music that they love to hear. I agree that music in it's current form a.k.a the CD is expensive and a lot are resorting to digital downloads I couldn't be happier as it enables us writers / artists to have the opportunity to sell direct to the consumer and cut out the middle man but I would like to point out that there is still a cost to do this but of course it's no where near the cost of a CD to buy. It's a shame about allofmp3 i'm not sure if they were aquiring the music legally or not I would hope they were and were paying the artists / writers the money they deserve. I think this whole file sharing business is not really going to be solved so why don't we just learn to cope with it and try and move on to more positive things. I think it's great that people would even want to listen to something I've created let alone pay for the privilege. I would love to just give my music away but obviously myself and my family have to eat so I am grateful for the fact that people pay for my music. What I don't agree with is the fact that some record label exec or publisher gets money off of my back for in my mind is little or no work at all on there behalf. There I've said my piece thank you to the 1 person who may read this and let me finish by saying that I would gladly allow allofmp3 to sell my songs on my behalf as I think it is a great service to it's customers but would just say that I really hope that they are in fact doing it legally.
