A goodly bit of their income comes from CD sales. > Its a case of AllofMp3.com bringing the free market to the consumer I don't think that's correct. As I understand it, and it's been debated in the fora here to death before, AllofMp3 is exploiting a loophole in Russian law. Regardless of whether it's letter-of-law legal, it's rather clearly not intent-of-law legal. As you say, you can buy your music where you want. I just wanted to make the point, if you care about rewarding musicians for their work. I'm not worried about Michael Jackson. I am worried about the little starving bands that do some of the best blues and soul music. *My* solution, where possible, is to buy the CDs off the stage, from the band members themselves. Where not possible, then I buy from the second hand store. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25158 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
