Napster vs AllOfMP3

Check out this graph from Alexa - it shows traffic to AllofMP3.com vs that to Napster.com. It seems AllofMP3 has stole the lead from Napster.

Allofmp3napstergraph_1 AllOfMP3 is the semi-legitimate music download service based in Moscow which uses a quirk of Russian law to be able to offer entire album downloads for forty cents. Unable to advertise overseas (it would be sued in an instant) its growth has come through word of mouth.

It's faced pressure from the industry in the past but so far they've been unsuccessful in stopping the site offering tracks.

It seems its doing an amazing trade. Probably because its offering a service that consumers actually want - cheap, easy to use and no restrictions on tracks. Compare that download services in the UK and US.
