If one goes to Alexa.com and uses its traffic ranking tool they will find that AllofMP3.com has joined the top 1000 websites on the Net. As of today that site was ranked number 901.
This is a pretty impressive showing for the Russian paid download site that has drawn the ire of the British and American record industries. Those entities stepped up their actions against the service back in May when XTN Data revealed that AllofMP3.com held 14% of the British paid-download business. This is nearly double Napster’s 8% market share and second only to iTunes 44% hold of the UK market.
Since those figures were released the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) asked for and won permisson from the UK courts to sue AllofMP3.com for copyright infringement.
Meanwhile, the American record industry has also directed its attentions and efforts toword stopping the service. The industry managed to propel AllofMP3.com onto the agenda of the G8 economic conference, with the US government pushing the Russian govenment to shut AllofMP3.com down as a demonstration of Russian respect for worldwide intellectual property rights.
