Warning over ‘illegal’ allofmp3.com MP3 internet website
Published June 6th, 2006
Britons using bargain music download website allofmp3.com have been warned that they are breaking the law.
Record industry trade association the BPI said consumers were breaking UK copyright law because allofmp3.com was not licensed to sell recordings.
The Russia-based site, which offers albums to download for as little as £1, claims to be licensed.
Allofmp3.com is the second most popular download site in the UK, accounting for 14% of downloads, a survey has said.
BPI spokesman Matt Phillips said: “There is no doubt it is totally illegal.
“It is illegal for them to sell the recordings in Russia or anywhere else because they are not licensed, and UK consumers are infringing copyright law because they are making illegal copies from an unlicensed source.”
