Attention Music Downloaders!

I wonder if all the songs are in Russian? :)

Trade news: (from an online trade publication and The Moscow Times)

Trade Representative Susan Schwab has singled out Russian music site www.allofmp3.com as a key stumbling block to Russia's ascension to the WTO. The site's owners, however, say that they are having the last laugh.

He said the site was signing up thousands of new clients after the US criticism. Schwab said Russia must shut down the site, which Washington considers to be one of the world's largest sources of pirated music, to get the US' blessing to enter the world trade body.

Set up by a handful of programmers in 2000, the site now has 5.5 million subscribers and is signing up 5,000 new users daily - the programmers created the site for their own use and had never expected it to become very popular. The site charges $0.15 to $0.30 per song compared to about $1 per song on most music industry-sanctioned sites, including Apple's iTunes store.

Do they have that stellar performance he did at that kids birthday party in a hut in Africa that you had on video? That would rock!
