Enron wasn't a mere website enterprise, you idiot.

Why don't you "put up or shut up" as they say? Please provide proof of
your claim that AllofMP3 is run by "Russian criminals." I'd like to see
what you base your slanderous opinion on. The facts are:

1. AllofMP3.com has been around for 6 years and has a loyal customer
base that is enormous by independent reports.

2. There are no reports whatsoever of identity theft or other problems
associated with the customer base. In fact, customers are very happy
with AllofMP3.

3. The one caveat is that, according to Wikipedia, many customers began
getting porn spam some months back, on email addresses that AllofMP3 had
for a very long time without incident. No one knows if this was a breach
on behalf of AOMP3 or not.

4. AllofMP3 knows customers were concerned about the legality of a site
that offered music at such reasonable prices, and therefore included
information about their legal standing, as per their position on Russian
Law. Not being a legal expert I can only say that I appreciate that they
assured me, as a customer, that it was a legal operation. If there is
some question about the law, it is for the courts to straighten out, not
customers. All ofMP3 did not have to include this information on their
site, but they did. That creates a certain amount of trust, imo. If it
is ill-founded or not, the courts will decide and take appropriate
action.

There is no proof, that I have seen, that this site is run by
"criminals."

And I see you avoided the real issue: that the RIAA could be making this
money themselves by starting a US-based site like AllofMP3 that sells
music files at the same price structure of AllofMP3. The problem with
the RIAA, is that it too greedy to see that cheaper music equals far
more sales, making volume the thing that will make them and the artists
more money. Instead they want to close down an affordable outlet, and
force a situation where people are forced to pay a buck a song (or
whatever outklets charge here). It won't work, b/c if AllofMP3 closes
down, and music is too expensive, people will just augment lower sales
at legit outlets with P2P type resources that don't pay ANY royalties to
ANYbody. The RIAA can't win by trying to force this type of situation.
It has to play along, or lose. If it doesn't want to play along by
letting AllofMP3 make the money, then the RIAA needs to start their own
US-based service to make the money themselves by using an AllofMP3
pricing structure. I would certainly choose to buy from a US-based site
rather than an international site, if one were available that was as
customer-oriented, convenient and well structured as AllofMP3.
