About BannedMusic
BannedMusic is a project of Downhill Battle and grew out of the incredible Grey Tuesday protest that happened on February 24, 2004. The project has two goals: first, to make it impossible for the five major record labels to use legal threats to stifle music, as they have done so many times in the past. When the major labels try to stomp out a piece of music, we will make it publicly available and draw attention to it.
Second is to advocate for common-sense reforms to copyright law that can make sampling legal and practical for artists, and benefiting both the musicians who created source material and sample-based musicians who are using it to create new works. For an informed and vibrant discussion to exist on these topics, sample-based music needs to be readily available. To determine whether current copyright law is serving musicians and fans, the public needs to be able to hear the kind of work that's currently being suppressed.
BannedMusic.org uses Blog Torrent to distribute these albums. P2P delivery is perfect because it spreads bandwidth costs across users, but we needed a p2p system that was just as easy as downloading a file from a webpage.
