MP3Sparks is a fantastic failure. They haven’t been able to accept credit or debit card since they opened, which cuts out 99% of their customers. Then the other payments they accept are either payments through your phone or through some dodgy looking Russian payment processor (which most people won’t go near). So I’d say they done a pretty good job of killing the ‘untouchable’ AllOfMP3.

A lot of Russian music websites have had to go that route though, and it’s mostly because the credit cards have decided that they don’t want to support these services. I seem to recall an announcement by Visa stating that they would no longer accept credit card transactions from these services, and other credit cards followed suit shortly after.

I love how the RIAA claimed a victory, but many sites popped up to take AllOfMP3’s place. They may not be too good, yes, but the point is they can’t stop this from happening;)

I’m sure the RIAA will do all they can from stopping sites like AllofMP3, but it will take a lot of effort and a lot of money.

Yes they can. MP3Sparks is a fantastic failure. They haven’t been able to accept credit or debit card since they opened, which cuts out 99% of their customers.
