One of the guys on the show said he uses it. But, not in so many words. Talked about how great it is. How cheap it is. But, when it came to actually admitting using it, he beat around the bush. Afraid to admit it? Hadn't really used it? Dunno. It's one of those "Too good to be true" things. According to all the research I've done, it's fine to use it. Many people said they didn't want to give this site their credit card info. However, you can pay with Pay Pal. If there was some way to get money to them annonymously, you could probably use this site and not give them any personal info. I just don't know how to send money annonymously.

I'm VERY tempted to try it.

Someone I know has tried it, and so far they got their song with no hassles.

Interesting. So, if I only wanted the one song, how much would I have to pay them? I mean, any membership fees or anything?

And also, since you've got an account, could I give you a quarter to get me a song? Or is it one of those deals where you can only play it on one computer?

1) You can pay for it with PayPal.
2) They give you a free 20cents. I paid 13cents for a 5minute song with 192kbs encoding (payment is by the size of the file)
3) It's an mp3, no copy protection whatsoever.

I believe you must pay at least $5 in advance.

The rules are, as I interpreted them: You are buying a song in Russia, then importing it into the US for your own personal use via the Internet.

The RIAA got to Visa.

Because I bet Visa was sick and damned tired of having arguably the most popular music download site in the world as a customer.

Sons-of-bitches. I would love to see some film dude make a documentary about the RIAA's crusade against their customers.

Question: If allofmp3.com moved to Cuba, Iran, or Venezula couldn't they just sit back and give the RIAA the finger?

America II should be a safe haven for these server farms.

I was debating that with someone the other day.

America II would allow for secure server farms, but fundamentally people are making money off of other people's property, which is wrong.

I say we do it just to piss off the RIAA.

In a world without the RIAA, custome would dictate that you pay the artist for their work and don't steal.

But the RIAA is so far beyond reasonable that I don't feel bad at all for stealing from any artist that associates with them.

Hmm.

It would be interesting though to have another country declare war on us because the RIAA pressured them to do so, and then we have precision airstrikes on our server farms and asperin factories.
