Subjects of Britain told they are breaking law by using allofmp3.com
This has been a tough week for the Russian operators of allofmymp3.com they are under attack at all angles. With the WTO getting in on the action yesterday and now reports that if you live in Britain and use allofmymp3.com you will be subject to prosecution.
