Major record labels, including Arista Records, Warner Bros. Records, Capitol Records and UMG Recordings have launched a lawsuit against AllofMP3.com claiming that the Web site has been selling music in violation of copyright. The labels claim in the lawsuit that Russia-based Mediaservices, parent company of AllofMP3.com, profits off copyrighted music without paying any royalties to the holders.
This was bound to happen, but it will be interesting to see if AllofMP3 gets completely wiped out by it. Their luck hasn’t been good over the past few months, but it’s no surprise given their less than legit nature.
