So long, AllofMP3

AllofMP3, the controversial Russian music download site that sold individual song downloads for 10 cents a song, appears to be down for the count.
Though no news reports confirm it, the site appears to no longer be in operation.
As you may have read on this site and elsewhere, Russia agreed to shut down the some time ago in order to gain entrance into the World Trade Organization. Several online blogs speculated the site would be shut down on June 1.
The Recording Industry Association of America and International Federation of the Phonographic Industry have maintained that AllofMP3 sold pirated music, while the site said it was licensed to sell music internationally under Russian law.
Two days ago, AllofMP3 disappeared for Virgin Media customers in the UK. The broadband provider said they had nothing to do with the site no longer being accessible.
Now, it has disappeared from the US as well.
Not that the piracy problem will go away with it. In fact, in a quick search of the Web I found at least a dozen sites from Russia and Ukraine that are selling mp3s "legally" under their country's laws, so if this is indeed the fight against piracy, it’s not over.
But, and I suspect this is true, that this is just an instance of US-based companies wanting preferential treatment in the global marketplace, then today is a sad, sad day.

UPDATE: AllofMP3's sister site, Alltunes, is still up and running. Wonder what's going on with that?

UPDATE: AllofMP3 is back online. Interesting.
