Grey Tuesday

I don’t even particularly like the Grey Album, but EMI deserve everything they get. So I’m going went grey for Grey Tuesday as well.

“EMI isn’t looking for compensation, they’re trying to ban a work of art,” said Downhill Battle’s Rebecca Laurie.

“Special interests, including the major labels, have turned copyright law into a weapon,” said Downhill Battle co-founder Holmes Wilson. “If Danger Mouse had requested permission and offered to pay royalties, EMI still would have said no and the public would never have been able to enjoy this critically acclaimed work. Artists are being forced to break the law to innovate.”

You can download the entire album from here - and you can bet that thanks to EMI’s cack-handed tactics, there’ll be ten times the downloads than there would have been if they’d smiled and live and let live.
