Yes, they are. However, as long as no major costs are involved, the breaches in the law are tolerated. Having said that, people HAVE been successfully sued for copyright breaches on the web

I'd better stress here that I don't use AllOfMP3 all the time - it helped me to get some copies of tracks I only have on vinyl (damaged but paid for in full) and which were unavailable on any other site or CD.

Fair enough. Although I personally wouldn't trust an organisation that is happy to operate semi legally with my Credit Card details.

A good legal way to copy music in this country is by recording it from TV or radio - still completely legal here in the UK. You have already paid for the copyright and the right to listen to it via the advertising or the BBC licence fee.

I think off air copying is only allowed if you are a person (and not a company) , and make reasonable efforts to ensure the recording doesn't leave the building in which it was made.
