If you'd like to help out with Downhill Battle projects and outreach, head over to our page.

Downhill Battle is working to end the major label domination of the music industry. If you want to read the short version of why we think this matters, check out: . Take a look at the rest of our site to learn more about the major record labels, and the incredible opportunity we have to make the music business better for artists and fans: .

Sticker sheets from Sean (for Avery 5160 labels):

Have an inkjet and some mailing labels? Print out some stickers and get to work!

If you like the idea of this project, but don't want to sticker yourself, you can still help out. There are lots of folks that would do more stickering if they had more stickers. and we'll make sure that your stickers get put to good use. And if you're interested in contributing $100 or more, we also have some special projects in mind--

2) This fall the major labels starting suing fans. So far, they've sued over 300 people, with young children. And they say the suits will continue indefinitely. Whatever you think about filesharing, it's just not okay for giant corporations to sue people with kids, living paycheck to paycheck, who can't afford a defense.

But the worst part is it means other labels are locked out of radio. If musicians don't sign an exploitative contract with one of the majors, they don't get on the radio.

Most people don't know it, but when you pay for major label music you're supporting some pretty nasty stuff. We think it boils down to two main points:
