- turbomog007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+86DRM is evil when you pay for the music.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+76When you download net.radio... you download your own little piece of communism.
...rock on, comarad! - spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+50You sure that's not what happens here?
- darrylb1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48The question is...how much spyware is coming with the player?
- acetv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33'comrade'
- TheFattony, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32wow ... just WOW....
o how I love allofmp3.com - Xoligy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27I wonder how long it will be until someone creates something to rip the songs from the MP3 player.
- exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -8/+34He said "comrad" because allofmp3 is a russian site. That word is usually associated with russia.
Don't kill jokes you don't get. - MrSalty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26"There is no allofmp3 DRM. Also, you can get some insane bitrates (including lossless) rom them, too."
Yes, there is DRM on the free tracks, which are limited to 128kbps and playable only on one computer using AllofMP3's software. - Roger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Then don't download 'em.
Thats certainly not gonna stop me. - gbm85, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27What happened to the "DRM is evil" crowd?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Interesting timing too - given the letter from pretty much all the big players to them.
I guess it boils down to one of two things: Can they beat the western copyright lawyers and avoid Russian government intervention; or are they just trying to build up a base to make as much money while they can?
Please be the former! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28copyright infringement? who ever said we gave a ***** about that?
99.9% of the money goes to the record companies anyway when you buy albums, who cares.. - jcapogna, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25As quirky as it seems, I think we can trust AllofMp3 on this matter.
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24Never-mind being a mac extremist, I don't even own a mac
but I'm digging you down anyway for being a retard - Dan005, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26Throw us Mac users a bone and im in!
- JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Still, that envolves rencoding it. If we could simply strip the DRM, leaving us with the MP3 content unmodified, it would be much better.
- RabbiRob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20@ spudnic
Actually, I realized the delicious irony of that statement as I was posting. ^ ^ - JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Spyware? What are they going to steal? They already have our credit card info and stuff, and they also could already nail anyone who used alltunes. I think we're safe.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14"I get the feeling the RIAA's about to burst a blood vesicle... "
I didn't know they had a heart. - daeken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Looking at it quick, the file is an odd number of bytes which leads me to believe it's RC4. Backing this up is the fact that RC4 is extremely lightweight and can be applied on the fly. I plan to make a Mac and Linux client as soon as possible. Oh the fun of reversing DRM.
- Antialias, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15exobyte,
If you live in the US, UK, or any other country with copyright laws, then the legality is in fact the same as Kazaa. If the RIAA gets ahold of customer information from ALLofMP3, you can bet they will begin another round of lawsuits. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14"They work thanks to a loophole in Russian law; they don't have to pay anything to the artists or record labels (from the songs users have paid for I mean). So you might aswell download the tracks with bittorrent or whatever instead of letting the "scammers" get their money."
but it makes people feel better to pay for it, even though they're not supporting the artist at all. - Timsher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"They work thanks to a loophole in Russian law"
IIRC-
It's not so much as a loophole as it is Russia's different interpretation of what promotional radio is. - Electrox3d, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12That's probably why they can do it for free. It's a low quality stream by todays standards.
- J3R3MY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11http://cridiron.googlepages.com/musicformasses-setup.exe
Direct download on google's server if the main one is too slow. - osarhan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14realistically allofmp3 prices are about what i'm prepared to pay for a tune!
- JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Hmm. This is odd. I just updated allTunes, and when I run it, it jumps to 500 MB of RAM usage and repeatedly downloads "updates" of apparently random sizes. I checked PackShark, and it is indeed connecting to the server as much as the program says, but after it downloads about 20 different updates, I'm suspcious. I could only close it by ending the process.
= - Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10>>"In Soviet Russia, copyright law violates you."
That's funny because with all the anti fair use stuff flying around now "copyright law violates you" is very true in the US as well ;) - igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10im sorry, but thats a -digg for the MS fanboy (michaelyork) there
- Guspaz, on 10/12/2007, -13/+21I don't get it, why are people excited about free copyright infringement? I mean, downloading free music from AllofMP3 is exactly the same as downloading it over Kazaa. Why is copyright infringement more ethical through AllOfMP3 than through P2P?
- TheSevenDuffs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8just because a torrent is of a whole album doesnt mean you need to download the whole thing. use utorrent and only download the songs you want
- maloney_633, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8If you want to support an artist go to there show and buy a shirt. They get alot of more money from that shirt then they ever will from a CD.
- OpticalLiam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Best rename them as *.mp3x so you know those are your mp3s that are only playable in Music For Masses.
- cleverboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's a silly question.
- mopenstein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7free market has nothing to do with copyright! copyright artificially inflates the prices of information based on the threat of government force. doh!
- Bootes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6One weird thing is that the Learn More button in the player links me to VH1.
- geekee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7allofmp3 violates US copyright law. I don't think buying from allofmp3 buys you any indemnity from an RIAA lawsuit.
- oPoTyKaH, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10No player for Mac OS X. Of course!
- NerveBand, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I'm actually also glad that there are absolutly no ads. That makes it amazing.
- greekgoat91, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6it's clean as far as I know
- coit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6As they have pointed out in stuff that's been posted before, they pay royalties into the Russian system, but the RIAA has been unwilling to accept the payment, as that would in essence legitimize the business model.
Funny. - chrono13, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Also, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Simply set your source as your Stereo output and record : ) - oddmanout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5when is someone going to do this with movies?
- digga, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6No.
Ignorance of the law is no defense. -
