Why not just toss your money out of a window? It will end up in the same place as giving any to allofmp3 at this point.
Dunno if you've read the news, but the Russian gov't has to shut that puppy down. Soon. It was a condition of joining the WTO, because (as I'm sure will come as a shock to you) allofmp3 didn't pay anybody apart from (possibly) a few Russian artists.

Here's a thought -- how about buying some music from an outlet (like an indie CD store, or iTunes, or CDBaby) where the artist will, in point of fact, actually see at least SOME money on the deal, rather than the Russian mob getting 95% of the money?
