Credit card company Visa International said Wednesday that it has suspended service to music download site allofmp3.com, a Russian digital music download service considered considered a pirate by the music industry.

“It’s no longer permitted to accept Visa cards,” said Simon Barker, a Visa International spokesman. “The action we’ve taken is in line with legislation passed in Russia and international copyright law.”

The news comes as allofmp3.com launches a public relations campaign to counter claims by the U.S. government that the site is an outlaw operation.
U.S. trade representatives say allofmp3.com is profiting from unauthorized music sales. Executives of allofmp3.com say that the company carefully adheres to copyright law in Russia.
