Song Downloads For Pennies?

Mp3Sparks is a Russian based site that offers song downloads in several formats for much less than other sites. Apparently, when AllofMP3 was shut down due to pressure from US music industry groups last summer, its' parent company Media Services, quickly replaced it with Mp3Sparks.

The RIAA is not happy about this but attempting to enforce its' rules on a Russian enterprise is an uphill battle. Mp3Sparks insists that what they are doing is legal according to Russian law.

The beneficiaries of this site are able to download music at a fraction of the price of other services like iTunes, Amazon, etc.

Question: Would you give your credit card number to an online Russian company that has already had one download site shut down, in order to save substantially on music purchases?

Have any NWO members used this?

Sure, you can trust Igor and Sergei with your credit card number.[}:)] I guess they don't take Paypal.

I was so tempted a year or two ago to start downloading from AllofMP3, but the whole "giving my credit card to someone in Eastern Europe, God knows who they are, is it legit" thing won out over having a bunch of Flirts Mp3s.

How about using a credit card with a very small limit (say $100.00)? Or a pre-paid credit card?

I agree with the credit card concerns already expressed. But I think someone who knows once told me that due to loopholes in the Russian royalties and licensing laws, downloading music from Russian sites for 10 cents a song is not necessarily illegal. It might be unethical.
