fuck riaa

It sucks living in a country that cares more about its companies than its citizens. Every day I get closer to catching a boat (no planes – they’d lose my luggage and delay 500 hours) to Europe and moving to Sweden or Russia or Germany or somewhere else halfway decent.

…then there’d finally be a use for my speaking Swedish, German, Russian, or Spanish…

Besides, artists don’t get any money. Read more at wikipedia:

“Mission Accomplished”

NOT

Are you just a f*cking retard? Why don’t you learn to read before spouting off with your ignorance. They didn’t steal a dime from artists you idiot. They charged because they paid the royalty fees required under Russian law at the time. If the RIAA refuses to accept the money because they want complete control over pricing that’s their problem. AllOfMP3 was completely within the law and paid the artist royalties they were required to.

Now please go STFU while the educated and mature have a discussion.

Music is free or sold by the RIAA, we dont need little fuck face criminals in between.

You didnt make it, you didnt produce it, you dont get to sell it.

I don’t know if this has anything to do with dropping the lawsuit, but MP3Sparks is accpeting payments again as of yesterday

Check http://www.museekster.com/allofmp3payments.htm

They should either share for free or give the money to the artists. Else there is no much difference to buying from the RIAA labels.

Requesting donations is ok, but charging isn’t. Also I doubt they offer proper quality, thus I wouldn’t even call it cheap.

I have no reason to doubt it’s legality though. The RIAA of course didn’t want to be undercut by a competitor.

“Initiative” is incorrect. It was their bribery which eventually prompted the Russian govt to act. It was a Russian decision only made under co-ercion. Personally I would’ve continued to say “stuff you”, but I think the RIAA was also seeking other trade sanctions which would have harmed the Russian economy.

Fortunately the RIAA was unable to get the bomb dropped however. Scum of the Earth they are.

That’s a canny analogy – M$ is designed to be irresolvably insecure so endless AV apps must be bought to try and fix it; and western politics is designed so that whoever’s richest get the veto vote on every aspect of governing! Both systems are inherently designed to yield the result that they do. Designed by mad rich capitalists, for mad rich capitalists.

This is just another example of American lobbyists being able to dictagte laws, rulings, arrests etc. without having to actually go though legal processes or adhering to any rules or regulations.

If the RIAA doesn’t like it, even the kremlin doesn’t care whether there’s actually any legal or moral problem: the will of the RIAA is enough to make it reality.

Why bother suing a BT hosting company when you can just announce you don’t like them and let the politics do the rest. WTO promoting what (besides corporate america) exactly?

Ah, all the more reason to firebomb the RIAA. A nonviolent resistance will not succeed. Only a violent one can succeed. Surely the people of the RIAA do not deserve life?

As for 7, 12, & the rest that are ragging on the fact that AllOfMP3 charged (@10 cents or less), the RIAA is lying. The money was paid as a mechanical royalty to the Russian agency that collects them and then distributes the proceeds to the rights holders. The same way radio stations and juke box operators pay in the West. They were in full compliance with the (then-current) law and the not guilty verdict proves that. The fact that the royalty schedule they paid under was not to RIAA’s liking is just tough sh*t. Of course they didn’t like it. Their idea of a business model is selling tracks at 99 cents apiece which on a 15-16 track album comes to…..the shaft for consumers. Screw them and the horse they rode in on.

As zarathustra said, kiss it RIAA.

Kiss it long, kiss it hard. And a hearty middle finger salute to ya!

The RIAA has declared victory over Russian music download store AllofMP3, which it accused of the illegal distribution of millions of copyright tracks. The site, which was declared legal by a court last October, no longer offers music – but has spawned…

Well, I doubt that these results take them farther to their goals, only farther away…

It’s like they did with Napster: Kill the big sites to spread the users, which will get even harder to catch, as well as the new site owners, just due to their sheer amount…

Have fun wasting more time RIAA, because it seems to me that you have a LOT of work infront of you.

They sold the music and didnt pay any royalties at all, they made money from the site, they were a company. People bought off them because they thought if they were paying then it must be legit and they wont get caught(you know like every torrent user does…ahem).

Actually thats giving too much credit to the douchebags that supported this site, they were most probably limewire users.

From what I read on the internet, it seemed like the main reason why allofmp3 was so popular was that people didn’t actually know that the artists didn’t get any of the money.

A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES CONTROL THE WAY MOST OF US LIVE OUR LIVES. IT’S PATHETIC.

P.S. SORRY ABOUT CAPS, BUT I LOVE WRITING IN CAPS !

I mean It’s the same if you buy a track from there or download it from the interweb.. in either of cases Label nor Artist don’t get any money from it.

Now I wonder what are people’s motives to use such service.

Is it same to buy a track from there as it is to download from some free p2p service and afterwards donate money for operating costs.

Anyways I hope just people buy tickets to shows and are also willing to pay more because cost of live act is going up as the gas prices are scoaring everywhere.

why would you want 20 more to appear. They offered albums which are gneerally manufactured chart rubbish for a fee. When you could easily go to a website and download it free somewhere else. Or if you want to pay, pay it to the artist who created it.

allofmp3 just made all pirates look like a bunch of douchebags

Hitler to Churchill:

“I got bored with this war nonsense (I’m loosing anyway).
Therefore i declare myself victor, now fuck off.
I won. Got it ?”

Pffft,
loosers.

definition of irony !
