The boys at Downhill Battle are taking the fight against the Recording Industry Association of America to the streets (and malls) with a new anti-RIAA stickering campaign that kicked off last week.
Using the excellent RIAA Radar as a resource (a site that lists which record labels are RIAA members, and therefore help fund all their misdirected lawsuits), the DB guys are stealthily (if not anonymously) placing their own warning stickers on RIAA-associated discs at their local mega-marts.  Check out the site for the photographic evidence (taken with a digital camera they 'borrowed' from Walmart for the day), and order up some stickers of your own if you want to get in on the action. It'll be interesting to see if the RIAA, or the stores in question, get their panties in a bunch over this and decide to take action against the Downhill Battle crew. By putting themselves out there, posting pictures, taking payments, and using their real names, they may be setting themselves up for a bigger fight than they planned on. Or maybe that is their plan. Either way, wish 'em good luck and good lawyers.  |
