While I support file sharing as a protest against the RIAA, I don't support a company making a profit off of someone else's work with no compensation. I don't like the RIAA and major record companies because they act as a middle-man between artists and consumers, ripping off both for their own profit.
AllofMP3 is ripping off the artist, the record execs, and benefiting the consumer. What we need is a service that benefits both artists and consumers. I will support that.

| AllofMP3 does pay royalties to ROMS (Russian equivalent of ASCAP). As a matter of fact their website states they pay something like 15% to that organization and is considering paying an additional 5% directly to the artists. The RIAA's complaint is they are undercutting the U.S. labels' own inflated profit margin. All the copyright holder has to do is register with ROMS or FAIR to collect their compensation. This is exactly how it's done in the states with ASCAP and BMI. |

It's the one regarding the position paper from allofmp3.com. Do people here just read the synopsis and then start commenting without following any links in the story?

There is a link on AllmyMP3's announcement that goes to all the legal jargon and their stance. The link is a little long winded so I just summed up the stuff pertinent to your grievance. |

1 edit | said by Maxo :said by tc1uscg :Allofmp3.com does not share files. Please provide a link to back up what your stating. Just read the whole thread. I did. I've read half dozen write ups on other web sites that make it a business to investigate this kind of stuff and they did come to any conclusions that allofmp3 or searchmp3 were doing something wrong. Since we allow the RIAA to write who we can buy from or how much we SHOULD pay, we seem to go along with it. I'm still waiting for a NON RIAA website to spell out the law that is being broken by allofmp3 other then not ripping off people to BUY music (notice I didn't say SHARE). |
