Downhill Battle
by: Lawrence Lessig

As the dialog continues to increase regarding all things DRM, more and more people are joining the conversation. One of the more interesting aggregations of various (if somewhat similar) points of view on this topic can be found at a website called Downhill Battle. Downhill Battle’s mission is to "support participatory culture and build a fairer music industry." Sounds good to me, and certainly aligns with other efforts such as Lawrence Lessig’s Creative Commons.

One of the most interesting components of this site is the interview section. In this section, they’ve got some killer artists (no, not The Killers…are they still considered killer??) like TV On the Radio, Thievery Corporation, Ian Mackay, and many others, who all give their thoughts on the current state of affairs vis-à-vis copyright, DRM, file sharing, the RIAA, and a host of other issues facing those in today’s music industry.

Check it out!
