So, when I logged into the mp3sparks site today they had this on their front page

WARNING ALERT!

www.aom3.org is controlled by IFPI and RIAA lobby. Be careful about the information you leave at this site.

Any of the senior members want to comment?

Just logged onto Sparks and I get it too

Not sure what it means, it might be that they are warning us users that aom3.org has been taken over by the IFPI and RIAA lobby and that we should be careful when we post here.

Can't see any problems myself, it all looks pretty normal to me.

I take that to mean in your opinion the site is not RIAA affiliated?

Should be common sense here, I would not be surprised at all if the RIAA at least monitors this site.

Those are some very deep thoughts from Ashley

they just want to say that some members here are probably from IFPI or RIAA, nothing else more

Check the balance section. They also give you a warning.

I personally had already assumed that, my concern would be with the "control" part

On second thought, the russian word for "to monitor" and "to control" is the same - контролировать (controlirovat'). So, in broken English they are merely saying that RIAA monitors aom3.org!

I am going to write Assistance in Russian in a second and at least suggest the implications of their phrasing.

Deep thoughts? My thoughts are never deep - only ever of you

Anyway I have just checked allTunes (the stand alone application and the website) and there is no mention of it on either.

I think that Wren maybe right and this site is being monitored - probably has been since day one, so nothing new there.

I would be very surprised if there is not at least one spy in the camp
