Have you put any research into this or are you just guessing that because
the company is Russian based it must be bent?
This is an independent piece and it states that if allofmymp3 has all the
proper licenses as claimed then they will be paying money to the licensing
authority who then pay out to the record companies. It also states that
under US law the downloading of these MP3's is not illegal as you have
legally bought them in Russia.
Considering this is one of the biggest music download sites going you'd
think that the huge media companies would be doing a bit more about getting
it closed down or getting access restricted to Russian citizens only if it
was indeed highly illegal. They however appear to be doing nothing.
