torrentfreak.com — AllOfMp3, the popular online music store, has been shut down by the Russian government. Pressure from the United States, and a refusal to enter the World Trade Organisation (WTO) convinced the Kremlin to take the website down for good.

Afterwards it has been said, in the geek community, that he did it on purpose (put the teen-thing in his dl manager). To have a little fun :)

Now mp3sparks appears to be dead, too. Anyone know what happened there?

Allof MP3 won this case, rightfully so. Who are we to tell other countries how to run? The record labels refused the money AllofMP3 tried to pay them, they were greedy. How much does it cost to run an online store? Very little. CDs are dead, just like the prices of CDs. There is no reason to pay as much, the cost to way less.

AllOfMP3 have been replaced by loads of new sites just like it. Check out a list of them all here: <a class="user" href="http://www.mp3obsession.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mp3obsession.com/</a>
