d(-_-)b ALLOFMP3 SUED BY U.S. RECORD LABELS
by Bill Pilkington 19 Jan '07

ALLOFMP3 SUED BY U.S. RECORD LABELS Just before our final emailer of 2006, we read that AllofMP3.com had been sued by the major record labels in New York. But the site is based in Russia. It is unclear how any U.S. court ruling can have an effect on this Russian site. The record labels claim that AllofMP3 has been profiting by selling copies of music without their permission. AllofMP3 typically charges under US$1 for an entire album and just a few cents per track. By contrast, an album at Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes Music Store and other licensed services typically costs about US$10 and a song 99 cents. Also, AllofMP3 does not have DRM on their tracks and they can be recopied for use on other players and computers. AllofMP3 has maintained that by paying royalties to a Russian licensing group, the Web site is in compliance with Russian laws. The RIAA has refused to accept payment from the Russian licensing group ROMS. It is interesting to note the flipside in China, where major labels have pressed CDs to be sold ONLY in China at extremely low prices. Some of these have been smuggled out of China and are sold cheap relative to US/UK CD prices. They are properly packaged and have good sound. You can find some in major record stores in $ingapore selling at around S$10 a disc = US$6.60. You can read AllofMP3s statement on their legality here: http://www.museekster.com/allofmp3faq.htm#Will%20the%20RIAA%20or%20the%20IF… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I sent my soul into the invisible, Some letter of that after life to spell.

Hiya Dave -- I'm Canadian, but have been living in the USA since '95. My family is in southwestern Ontario; I'm in Indiana now. I first joined the Orb list as a student in Montreal, '93-'95. I mostly lurk on the list these days, but still listen to the good Doctor's work. A remaster of UFOrb would be beautiful, wouldn't it? I have never heard of outtakes from those sessions, but would love to hear what the Dr. and Thrash came up with that didn't make it. - pascal ----- Original Message ---- From: Dave and Ros <daverosbooth(a)rogers.com> To: What were the skies like when you were young? <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 11:08:47 PM Subject: [Orb] Question from Canada  Hi All, I had been reading the Orb archives on xmission.com for a while and decided it was time to join the conversation. Two questions and a comment: Has anyone heard of a possible re-master of UFOrb release—seeing as 2007 marks 15 years for the album? (It would be a nice follow-up to Ultraworld in 2005…) Are there any Canucks on this list? (Canuck = Canadian in British/American speak) Thanks to Kjartan Behm for Grey Clouds.

Haven't heard about a UF-Orb reissue - apart from the fact that Thrash was against it! :-) However, there is a new Orb album out in the Spring featuring Youth and a guy from Dreadzone, and there's also Orbsessions Volume 2 out later on in the year. Hopefully, we'll find out more when the proposed new www.theorb.com is launched! :-) > > From: "Dave and Ros" <daverosbooth(a)rogers.com> > Date: 2007/01/18 Thu AM 04:08:47 GMT > To: "'What were the skies like when you were young?'" > <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Subject: [Orb] Question from Canada > > Hi All, > > > > I had been reading the Orb archives on xmission.com for a while and decided > it was time to join the conversation.

Little Fluffy Clouds Bootleg - Grey Clouds

Popping up from Lurksville, Scotland, ever so briefly to point out this small wonder (apologies if the list has discussed this recently, though it's been a touch quiet of late, so I don't think I missed it) which I've ripped from a recent Annie Nightingale set so the sound quality ain't too great. The yousendit notification doesn't appear to have got through to the list, so I hereby repeat it for your collective amusement. http://www.yousendit.com/download/CMHFBaSPbWx5TA%3D%3D Call it sacrilegious or just plain true, I'm amazed someone's not thought of something like it before! Enjoy Kjartan
