Squonk said:try www.gomusic.ru (formerly mp3search.ru, cheaper than allofmp3)
There are many other threads on this topic ...those sites are not strictly illegal, depending on your orientation....speaking technically, I find the quality of these sites second-to-none; I have never seen any virus from them (and I am protected up to the hilt)..Wiggzie, do you have any first hand experience of any of this?wiggzie said:most of these sites are selling illegal music. just because you are paying them doens't mean they are paying the rights owners...
also, beware of potential trojan horses, particularly with the 'download manager' mentioned above, given that it is from russia...
Would this be the same Eircom that advertised one of the major benefits of their broadband services was the ability to download TV shows and 'watch them before your friends'? How could this be done except through peer-to-peer filesharing sites that breach copyright?Bosshog said:The reason i had trouble logging onto allofmp3 last week was because Eircom had it temporarily blocked.

wiggzie said:no but I know enough from my job to be very wary...when you say protected up to the hilt - what exactly are you using?
Mumha said:Sounds like you're scaremongering, Wiggzie ! I have the download manager as well and haven't had a problem.

The rights organisations in many western countries contend it is illegal and allofmp3.com contend that they are allowed under Russian law to sell music. Until the matter is resolved in court there is no defintive answer to the legality or otherwise of the site (and the answer could be different country by country).
However I suspect that they would lose a case and are illegal. Whether a consumer who purchased in good faith believing it was legal would be penalised I'm not sure though ignorance of the law is not normally a valid defence.
