The London Reuters has been discussing the possibility that music site AllOfMP3.com may get shutdown. This comes about a month after AllOfMP3.com told the world that they are running a legitimate business and paying the proper royalties to the artist, according to Russian copyright laws that is.
A survey that was performed showed that AllOfMP3.com is Britain’s second most popular music source only to fall behind iTunes. So what is going to be the result of this crackdown. I predict that we will see a similar end result to ThePirateBay.org situation.
My moral compass has a mind of it’s own. I will steal mp3’s (on occasion), under the justification that I am ‘testing’ the music. Yet I refuse to pay a pittance to someone who is not paying artists and producers for the privilege of profiting from their music. I think it’s the profit part that bothers me.
