I received an E-mail that I may have oped in for about a new site to download music it is mp3count.com they CLAIM to be legal but the prices for the tracks are 18 cents a song which is insanley cheap.
Probably operating in Russia, potentially legal by Russian standards, but definitely ripping off the artists.
Actually, ex-Russia. Ukraine.
The WhoIs information for the site lists owner/administrator details in Ukraine.
I can’t comment on whether the site is legal and legit over there, but i’d be willing to bet that it doesn’t license its music is a manner that is legal in the USA.
And googling “mp3count” turns up articles that question its legality and compare it to similar Russian sites.
So even if it might be legal in Russia/the Ukraine, expect the US/the RIAA to argue that it’s at least not legal for you to have those files.
