Along with many others I mourned the passing of allofMP3.com. I just loved the way the conclusion of my long ago and almost forgotten economics course had been applied to digital music - something about price tending towards the marginal cost of production. It seemed to me fabulously ironic that this should have come to pass in that bastion of free markets - the former Soviet Union.
Well imagine my joy to find that the BBC web site is hailing the son of allofmp3.com. It's here - www.mp3sparks.com
The suggestion was that this was a replacement for my much loved example of free market economics, but no, its much more than that. It has somehow inherited my login name, password and download history. Even what remained of my balance! A whole $0.13.
So I decided to invest a bit of my balance and downloaded a track. Yes, it works, the music downloaded effortlessly and zapped straight into iTunes on my Mac. I listened with great pleasure.
Right now I should think the US copyright control police are jumping up and down in rage and plotting all manor of retribution against the evil empire. Probably only a matter of days, but until then ...........
