Visa & Mastercard Declining AllofMP3 Purchases

[DudeAsInCool]

Credit card firms shun MP3 site

Record companies say AllofMP3 has no rights to sell music. Visa and Mastercard have stopped accepting credit card transactions for music downloading site AllofMP3, which is accused of illegally selling songs.

The Russian-based company, which offers chart music at a fraction of the price charged by services such as iTunes, insists it is within the law. But US officials say AllofMP3 operates outside international agreements and no artists have been given royalties.

It's been at least two years since you could use Visa there. I didn't realize you could ever use Mastercard.

Paypal cut them off many moons ago. I used MasterCard just last month.

Record companies say

fuck the companies and ALL of the music 'industry'

thanks to the Internets, we don't need 'em any more and neither do the bands.

You're right. I'm confusing Visa with paypal.

I could use my Visa until they foreclosed.

I don't know why anyone would actually want to pay for downloaded music in the first place!!

I just paid $25 to allofmp3 with a mastercard a few minutes ago and have since downloaded a couple of albums.

My wife wanted one of them NOW (Christmas With Peggy Lee (2006)) the other was one that I wanted and have been unable to find.

I will buy a few tunes. :)

I am sure I could have found the Peggy Lee album in the next few days but she was going to buy the cd if I didn't get it today. I figger I saved about $7 to $10 but I never actually priced the cd.

I would pay if the album was about 5-7euros and a large porion went to the artists which is something that will happen in the near future everywhere. Warp records founder created Bleep which is a cool step forward. No DRM, all indie records and most of the profits go to the artists.
