I think that the hunt down made by the MAFIAA might have blown up in their own faces.

Very few AllOfMP3 customers knew of the other quality Russian/Ukrainian sites before the music industry tried to block people from using their credit cards on AllOfMP3.

Now this forum (and for instance SongBoom) have made thousands of users (who will tell their friends, who will tell their friends...) aware of these sites that seem like popping out of nowhere all the time.

Not only that but more and more of them seem to start sister/partner sites, so if the RIAA blocks one, the other will still work, and if that one gets blocked too, they just make yet another clone.

Maybe it's about time the music industry took a long good look at their current business model and 1. ditched DRM 2. offered online encoding themselves. Then maybe they would get some of their customers back.

As usual you are spot on.

I for one would not have found all these new sites had I not stumbled on to THIS site. I am now downloading from mp3fiesta and mp3sale and to be honest, I have never been happier with the quality and vast choice of music I now have.
