allofmp3.com would be illegal if it operated pretty much anywhere except Russia. They comply to Russian law (they provide to the Russian Royalties collection agency, whatever they're called - if they didn't, they would have been shut down by now). It is said the Russian royalties agency pay artists and studios directly, probably bypassing the execs, marketing and lawyerheads.
As a consumer, I am buying a legal product from a legal Russian company. The RIAA don't have a leg to stand on. In any case, their qualms are with the Russian government, not allofmp3.com. They probably don't do anything in that regard for fear of the Mafia or something.
