Okay, this is what I was looking for - I found it on the HELP at the MP3 Fiesta website. Can anyone vouch for this as being true?
Also, I would like to know, I was reading from a GOOGLE search that some credit card services may deny the credit transaction because they are not in agreement with the license issues of AOM3.
Is this correct, has this happened?
I have never heard of a credit card company selecting who it will pay to before. |
Hi DonRas and user242.
Ever since The MAFIAA found out that threatening and/or "compensating" VISA and MasterCard (to stop payment from these Russian/Ukrainian online music stores) was somewhat efficient (at least to begin with), it has been one big cat and mouse chase.
When one payment processor is bullied to stop accepting payments - the people behind these stores always find ways around this harassment tactics.
Because harassment it is
We do know that these stores lie in somewhat of a grey area but it is
VERY few countries, where there are laws against using them - even if The RIAA and IFPI try desperately to tell the world that it
is forbidden. The MAFIAA says this so often that many people probably think it is forbidden but I guess that is all part of their plan.
MP3Sparks & co. do pay compensation to ROMS or FAIR and have done so for years but The RIAA refuses to accept payments, which would for sure legalize these stores.
The weird thing is that even if they were to succeed closing these Russian/Ukrainian stores, 99.9 percent of their customers would not use the stores white listed by The Music Industry. Primarily because of the DRM issue but many also because of the price.
And most people
do want to pay for their music but if the alternatives are iTunes, Napster and Rhapsody, then they would rather get it from P2P, BitTorrent or Usenet.
To round up: These Russian/Ukrainian stores simply give people what they want at a fair price
