The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has accused the mp3 downloading service AllofMp3.com of not paying to artists.

In words of Lauri Rechardt, head of litigation at IFPI: “Downloading from AllofMP3.com is illegal in most countries, Allofmp3.com clearly operates outside the international standards for copyright law, established by the EU Copyright Directive and World Intellectual Property Organisation treaties”.

On the other side the rusian service protestes its innocence stating that they pay their fees subject to the Law of the Russian Federation and declare themselves not responsible for the actions of foreign users.
