FallofMP3.com?
Various news sites are awash with the high profile targetting of Russian download site allofMP3.com. Possibly the best explanation is here at The Register.
Tim Jupp had previously warned me about the ‘grey area’ this was causing in the music industry so it was only a matter of time really. Price aside, there’s still a need for a DRM-free, multiple-format download site. Let me know if you find a legal one…

BBC say the same as well I’m afraid bud!
It is a big loss and leaves a big hole in the DRM-Free, multi-format online music market.
I’d always been slightly suspicious of it, but it was so cheap. We should all console ourselves that only (approx) 1 in 10 internet users knew about it. Had it been as widely used as iTunes or the “legal” Napster imagine what the press would have been saying then.
damn it. btw, 1 in 10 internet users is still roughlt 100,000,000 people! just thought you might like to know, lighten the mood and all! guess we all though it too good to be true…
