The Orchard, BPI, in accord
p2pnet.net News:- “AllofMP3.com is an illegal service that hurts artists, labels and the industry, and we support the BPI’s efforts to shut it down, full stop.”
So states Greg Scholl, president and ceo of The Orchard, referring to efforts by the Organized Music Gang of Four’s BPI (British Phonographic Industry) to close down AllofMP3.com, a raging success story against the continuing failure of Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG, and others, to develop viable corporate music businesses.
Quoted in hypebot.com, “There are two approaches to engaging with others: unilateral saber-rattling and aggressive rhetoric, and constructive dialog toward jointly developed goals that are in the interests of both parties,” says Scholl, going on:
“I think looking around the world today, the former approach hasn’t really done much for its Orchards_scholl proponents, be it at the geopolitical level or simply from the standpoint of trying to discern the logic of suing one’s customers and fans.”
Meanwhile, the Big Four, who even went so far as to try to pirate the G8 conference, try to cope with one marketing failure after another as, Canute-like, they strive to turn back the tide of progress in the digital 21st century.

“Western imperialism”, *indeed*!! I certainly hope Putin has the neccessary testicular fortitude for standing-up to these selfish and spoiled bastards (**AA, who, as with Micro$oft, can’t stand 1 single bit of competition).

All Of MP3.com is legal in Russia. It’s been investigated there several times, and the music cartels are now using their bought politicians to try and get Russia to change their laws.
The BPI is making a lot of noise, but there’s nothing they can do to prosecute a Russian company that is complying with Russian laws. As usual, it’s all lies from the cartels.

Russian services do not pay royalties to the artists. They are ripping us off and to me they are no better than RIAA an such. I thought this site was created to protect artists when in fact it’s all about stuffing your computers with music you didn’t pay for. So instead of making RIAA to pay artists their fare share you just screw them further on by supporting illegal downloads. Thanks for nothing. The greed rules.

Have you ever seen the cash flow statistics for recorded music in the USA, Russia and other countries. Of course not. All data is hidden, private and confidential.
Ever wonder why?
It would put the music industry to shame.

So far no one has been able to stop the RIAA from suing it’s own customers. How does this site “…[make the] RIAA … pay artists their fare share…”?
What are you trolling for? This is a P2P site…
P.S. The downloads are not illegal.
