It's legitimate because it's licensed in Russia. under Russian laws.

Typcial duck by an AllOfMP3.com customer. When the recording industry
sues you, I'm sure you'll pack up your bags and move to Russia. BTW,
how do those Russian laws (and yourself while we're at it) distinguish
between the guys who run AllOfMP3 & private citizens with their own
P2P clients? All I need to do is install WinMX on my machine, and
send the Russian copyright authority a percentage of my sales ($0.00
USD), and I'll be entirely legit, just like AllOfMP3, right?

Well yes but those aren't licensed distributors.

LOL, you obviously have little concept of what the term "license"
means - just enough to satisfy your desire to get cheap music while
irrationally fending off fears that you might find one of those RIAA
complaints in your mailbox tomorrow. The idea behind a license is
that you have permission to do something from the person who has the
right to give you that license - the people who own it, or the
government authority that derives its power from those people. The
Russian government was never delegated that right by the owners of
that music, therefore their legislation is entirely irrelevant to the
issue of distinguishing between P2P and allofmp3. Allofmp3 does not
have a license that derives in any way from those with the legal right
to grant that license, and therefore it is no different than anybody
running eMule or WinMX with the exception that those users don;t
charge consumers for their access to that media.

The fact that US copyright and IP laws don't apply worldwide is IMHO quite a blessing.

And what country are you writing from? And how do the laws of that
country apply to both AllOfMP3 & P2P users?
