AllofMP3.com Dead? "We are sorry but the server is closed..."

We are sorry but the server is closed…for maintenance

- via AllofMP3.com

I was just being provocative with that headline for those of you reading via RSS. Sorry I do hate it when services like this go down hard like this. I really wanted to pick up the new Wolfmother album this morning so that I could listen to it on a roadtrip up north that I’m making today. Nada. The service doesn’t exist today. Damn.

I really hope that this is temporary. When these guys go offline for maintenance, I always worry that pressure from Greedy US Media might be the cause of the problem. I’m not too worried about the $14 I have currently have in my account – I’m worried about where I’m going to get the Wolfmother tracks from at a fair price in an unencumbered format. Hopefully I won’t have to go back to my criminal ways and start using BitTorrent to start downloading copyrighted music again.

But if they force my hand, a criminal I will become.

check out

or

both of these sites operate under the same licensing situation in Russia, both are cheaper than AllofMp3, but not as sophisticated, no built-in d/l mamager, etc.
but, cheap music!!

I'm surprised there isn't more discussion (or even speculation) about this. I figured it would be up in a couple of days but now I'm getting worried...
