<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Screw iTunes, $1.37 Cdn a song? For the average 12 song CD, that's still $16.44 which is the cost of a cd in a store here.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that's my beef with it. If I'm going to get a electronic copy of a song that has been compressed, and doesn't feature any artwork, I better damn well pay a lot less for it.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>My first reaction to this was probably the same as some of yours - No fucking way can this be legal.

But...I think it is! You can all thank God for Russian copyright laws and the low value of rubles (allofmp3.com is a Russian Company. Read more <a href="http://www.museekster.com/allofmp3info.htm">here<a/> and <a href="http://www.infoanarchy.org/story/2004/4 ... 1">here</a>.

HOWEVER: Even though those sites have many assurances that there have been zero complaints about credit card hanky panky, something inside of me just won't let me give my credit card number to a Russian MP3 company, even if it is legal and there have been no complaints. Call be crazy :) I'm going to open a Paypal account and do everything from there.

Anyway, this is probably the best news I've heard all month. Thanks Sine!

A penny per MB!!!!! Holy shit!</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>See Sines reply, but 16$ is still BS. Maybe if iTunes gave me a printable coupon that was good for a free blowjob from the female Artist of my choice I'd pay it. (Sarcasm)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I"m willing to forego artwork when I have a guarantee that I will like the entire album. Mind you, I don't pay for music ever and only listen to music lightly, so my opinion in this matter is (by my account) not as valid as others</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I don't mind paying 50 cents if I end up not liking an album. I usually have to listen to an entire album to be a full judge of if I like it, anyway. BTW, I've currently downloaded about 2 GBs of music (around 25 albums) for $20.</div>
