American Edit is an excellent mash-up album that has been given the cease and desist order by Warner Records. However, Dean Grey, the creator and his fans are not taking it lying down and are going to do a Dean Grey Tuesday thingy on 13 Dec 2005 in protest of the record label's action. Read more about it on the linked website and support real creativity in music.
We hope to mobilize the online Mash-Up community by organizing a simple one-day organized event. Participants would be asked to post the American Edit album online for 24 hours only starting on Tuesday, December 13, at 12:00AM. Doing so is not intended to be a mass organization of music piracy but, rather, one single display of the consumptive power of the mash-up and home remix community in the hopes of encouraging the labels, publishers and artists who are curious about the mash-up community to consider giving the high quality productions of "illegitimate" music a legitimate consideration as a promotional avenue for all music.
