.mp3

So over the weekend I heard this new song - hadn't really heard anything new in a while but I had been filling my iPod with mp3 files downloaded from allofmp3.com. So, I tried to go there this weekend and found the site was shutdown. Didn't take long to find an article about it. Since it was run by the Russians, they were trying to bypass US copyright laws. The article said the site was shut down in the interest of international trade agreements. What pissed me off was I still had about $20 in the 'bank' there!

Well, later I found the website had been re-formed as mp3sparks.com - it has the same layout and everything, just a different background color. I e-mailed them to find out if I could transfer my $20 from allofmp3.com - their reply was "Unfortunately, we cannot do that." So, I went out and bought the CD at a store. I'm not giving the Russians any more of my money.

Oh, and the song? "Under the Influence" by James Morrison.

Lame

OK, So I'm lame. Finally getting around to doing this blogging thing - long after everyone else is here. For those who might be interested, I'll let you know some things that are going on in my life, and I'll keep adding pictures along the way. Happy reading! KP
