Moscow - Reacting to the blow that came as two major credit card companies halted payment processing for its controversial music download store, Russia-based AllofMP3.com called the actions "arbitrary, capricious and discriminatory," adding that it may seek legal recourse to reverse the decisions. The site sells albums for about $2 each, and claims to be legal under Russian law and hold a valid license from a Russian copyrights society. This week, both Visa and MasterCard ceased processing payments for the site.
