Yeah, I reviewed those articles before I started using it. As far as I can tell, the RIAA has no say over this site. Interesting as well to remember that russian currency isn't worth as much as american currency. I forget exactly my reasoning for this, but it made sense at the time.
Until I hear otherwise from a reliable source, I will keep DL-ing from allofmp3. The allofmp3 explorer is pretty nice, put songs onto the list at work, while they download at home.
I have done much research into this, its far more legit then Kazaa, and the other free ones.
