Allofmp3 voucher site closed down

It's interesting that the RIAA-IFPI insists Allofmp3 is operating illegally, and yet, instead of actually, you know, testing that in a court of law, it chooses to fight its battle by trying to throttle off other arms of its business, by persuading credit card companies not to deal with it, or, as today, getting cops to raid a London business selling vouchers for use with the service.

It's a little like believing a man is having an affair with your wife, but instead of bursting in while they're doing it, you ask the local garage to stop selling him petrol so he can't drive to your house.

Apparently, the bloke selling the vouchers has been arrested on suspicion of fraud - we presume on the complicated basis that he's selling vouchers which you could use to buy downloads which profess to be legal but aren't. Which would be fraud, but that does assume that allofmp3 is illegal - and that hasn't been tested in court anywhere. At the moment, rather than a legal ruling, we have the RIAA and IFPI and BPI's claim that it is - which, surely, is no more or less legally valid than the equally untested claim of Allofmp3.com to be licensed under the terms of the law in the territory in which the operate.

The question is: if the IFPI is so certain of its stance, why is it sending the British Police to close down a subsidiary operation rather than taking on Allofmp3 in court, face to face?
