Announcing BannedMusic.org

Downhill Battle, the group behind the landmark Grey Tuesday online protest has created BannedMusic.org, a virtual record label for sample-based music that the major record labels try to suppress. BannedMusic.org currently features "The Double Black Album," a concept album that combines Jay-Z and Metallica, which the RIAA has tried to shut down. BannedMusic.org is also debuting a new BitTorrent installer to distribute these censored recordings: the system wraps BitTorrent peer-to-peer software in an installer that, once run, self-installs and automatically begins downloading the album you want which also spreads bandwidth costs across users.
