Way to post an out of date article as part of your argument. A quick look at the wikipedia entry for allofmp3.com shows that at least in Russia there is nothing wrong with allofmp3.com's legality.

a quote from wikipedia:

The legality of AllofMP3 continues to be argued in Russia. According to a report in The Register, a preliminary Moscow City Police investigation resulted in a February 8, 2005 recommendation that AllofMP3 be prosecuted. The IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) also filed a formal complaint on February 8. However, IFPI's Russian legal advisor, Vladimir Dragunov, admitted in an interview with The Register that because of the structure of Russian copyright law, successful litigation against AllofMP3 appears unlikely.

In March 2005 the Moscow City Prosecutor's office decided that Russian copyright laws do not cover online distribution of creative works, and refused to bring a criminal suit against AllofMP3 because of the lack of corpus delicti. The copyright holders can still file a civil suit, though.

A quick search of the back articles on slashdot brings up the following article as well.
