AllofMP3.com gets attention

The Russian web site that offers digital music internationally at a fraction of the price is now under scrutiny for copyright violations.

Initiated by local lawmakers, the Moscow City Police Computer Crimes division is now investigating the case of copyright abuse.

AllofMP3.com claims that it is licensed to sell the digital music by the record labels however the labels deny this. The site offers tracks at just 2 cents per MB of downloaded music. With an average song being around 3 to 5 MB that is 6 to 10 cents, which seems to be very low if they are still paying royalties on it. AllofMP3.com is also offering digital music tracks that are harder to find on other services, such as tracks from The Beatles and others, which again makes it hard to believe that the site is 100% legal.
