Bouncing Zabaglione Bros. said:You can guarentee that after this latest round of shutdowns, there will be no difference to sales. The record and movie companies will simply refuse to analyse their own business practices and will continue to insist failures like the half-a-billion they spent making and marketing films like "Polar Express" (with great decisions like launching against "The Incredibles") are down to pirating.

This reminds me of an interview I read somewhere (where?) with the head of the consumer electronics side of Sony, who kinda said that the music/film side can do what they want, but since it's the electronics that brings in the cash, the music side of the company WILL lose the war, and will have to toe the line at some point in the future.

Why don't use http://www.allofmp3.com instead? I love it: dirt cheap, has plenty of formats and you set up the encoding online, including its rate format everything.
RussSchultz said:It may be legal in Russia, but it isn't quite legal in the US, dear T2k.
Nor do they use completely legal source material--some of their cuts are from promotional discs (not for resale, clearly marked on the album art), dear T2k.
Basically, they exist due to very gray areas in international copyright law, and creative classification of what they do ("rebroadcasting").
As for you, its better to understand than to trumpet the PR material of the company and people who want it to be legal.
It would be good to take off your twit glasses, as signators of the Bern convention are bound to respect international copyright laws.It would be good if you would take off your imperial glasses, fella: US is only ONE fuckin country oin this planet and US' laws doesn't worth a flying sh*t outside of US.
If its doing business in the US, it sure as hell is.There is no such thing that a foreign company illegal by US laws - it's NONSENSE, dear RUss
Next, stop referring to ROMS as an "international backed system". The RIAA is a ton more internationally backed than the "russian organization for multimedia and digital systems." Matter of fact, then only time you seem ROMS mentioned in in a discussion over AllofMp3.The ROM is a member of the international association and legally represents Russia and all the artists in Russia.
How the hell can they sell the Beatles, and be legitimate? Apple Music hasn't sold the online distribution rights to anyone--anywhere. Furthermore, I've seen more than one post by artists who's material is "for sale" on AllofMp3, who hasn't signed over their copyright authorization to anybody in Russia, nor is receiving any monies from the "sales"--meaning AllofMp3 is violating their copyright.Allofmp3 pays these royalties for ROM in Russia - which sends this to the artists.
It's so funny to see somebody so pompous be so wrong. The copyright holder retains control over his/her own work. If it is released "not for resale", then it plainly is "not for resale", and doing such is infringing on the holder's copyright.LOL, you don't know too much about these things, right, Russ? Any US music shop sells 'not for resale' stamped material. It's NOT illegal. It's NOT a crime. You are WRONG.
No, you dipshit, it's international law. The Bern Convention on copyright is the overriding law on all of this. And strangely, Russia is a signator. As is the US, and just about every other nation out there.It's a typical example of our "common stupidity" in the US: it exists almost everywhere,: peeps like you think the only legal way to do anything is the US way.
Ignorant, arrogant, personal stupidity. Classic example.Ignorant, arrogant, national stupidity. Classic example.
I suggest the same for you. Read the Bern Convention, for starters. It might be a bit of an eye opener. Unless, of course, you would like to assert that Russian copyright laws trump the world's. But that would be ignorant, arrogant, national stupidity, now wouldn't it?Instead of spreading your completely false BS, it'd be better if you would take yourself to the nearest library and start reading on relative laws.

Tell me, little one (do you like those patronizing terms of endearment? I didn't think so),when AllofMp3 "sells" a track to me in the US, do they sell it in Russia? Or in the buying country? Or in any country in between?

Plus, it seems to me you have a little bit of penis envy going on with your constant harping on the US only being one country in the world.

And please, can it with the patronizing "dear such and such". Little man.

Um, no. Try reading the thread just a little bit. Not to be offensive, but it helps to have the facts.fallguy said:RussSchultz said:And please, can it with the patronizing "dear such and such". Little man.
You used the term first. If you dont like it, you shouldnt have started it.
