AllOfMP3, why hast thou forsaken me? These are the plaintive words of a cheapskate who has just learned that his favorite Russian music download service is about to double its rate for music downloads from $0.01 to $0.02 a MB. It’s still a fantastic deal—knowing that I’m forcing the starving children of musicians to eat a sour gruel made from the remnants of overstock Amy Grant guitar tab is just a bonus—but it’s also twice as expensive, which makes my eye patch droop a little. The company is claiming “new licensing conditions” are forcing their hand. Which licensing agency would that be and how much of the money will they be getting? It’s enough to make a miser cry (if I could afford the salt).
