The Russian based site which states, “our content may be legal,” AllOfMp3.com, has been down for at least 9 hours now, as of 11:45 EST. The grey market site has been a big hit with millions of users because they can download entire albums for less then $3.00. Based in Russia where the RIAA laws don’t cover, they have been offering downloads of most every music you could ever want, a great user interface and a vast compilation of top lists to help you find what is hot and what’s not.

Perhaps this means the end for one of the largest MP3 sites on the net. I’ll update if and when the site comes back online or if more news breaks regarding this.

Update: As of about 4:30PM the site appears to be back up.
