MP3spaks accepts visa because they took visa to court and forced visa to process billing from thier LEGAL site. Between allofmp3, mp3sparks and bittorrent I will never pay more than $1 for a CD, which is basically the true value. RIAA just keeps losing the legal battles. Allofmp3 was changed to mp3sparks.

Take it from someone that puts money into making and promoting songs, the days when everyone is running around trying to sell tracks for .99 cents are numbered. It makes more sense to give away the songs to sell everything else. Look at the cost of making songs, making a video, creating a MySpace page, creating a website, etc, etc.. For what? to sell songs that return .69 cents of GP. It's not worth it; it's ass backwards from common sense. I am laying out multiple reasons why selling tracks will end - if anyone is interested. http://songboost.blogspot.com/ AllofMP3 and sites like it will be killed off when everyone in music decides that giving away digital tracks makes more sense then selling them.

Hit one, another one pops up somewhere else. Whack that one and two more appear behind you. While I don't condone illegal music sharing because of its impact on the artists we love, I think the music industry needs to open its eyes to the possibilities around digital sharing and giving to the community a little. Personally, the more music I listen to, the more music I WANT to listen to and the more concerts I want to go to. By sharing music at cheaper prices, in easier, less contrived (ie DRM-free) ways, the music industry might just regain the respect of music lovers, finding new ways to make revenue, albeit by getting a smaller per-song revenue than in their cushy old days.

I don't see how they can be taken down, US laws have nothing to do with Russian laws, and as long as they fork over some proceeds to a Russian rights management company they can still claim to be in the legal. In any case, even if they did get taken down, consumers can still find music cheap or free. I've noticed there's thousands of music blogs out there that link to entire albums on rapidshare.com or megaupload.com and nobody's so much as mentioned that!
