RIAA sued the Moscow based AllofMP3.com which sold DRM less MP3 for roughly $1.65 Trillion at the rate of $150,000 each for 11 million songs that were download from their website June to October. AllofMP3 was selling full albums for $3 without paying royalties to its original artist. Its illegal in other countries but in Russia its completely legal.
Earlier this week, Internet Service Provider, Perspektiv banned its users from accessing AllofMP3.com and to counter this move Piratebay decided to block Perspektiv users from access their site. Finally Perspektiv was forced to lift the ban (Piratebay turned off the ban too). Looks like they are playing it like an Eye for an Eye game.
I’m sure the entire lawsuit will be settled in court for something lower than $1.65 Trillion. Good news is that AllofMP3 is giving an special 20% discount till January 14th, 2007. Grab the deal before it goes offline.
