Smoking Gun

Tuesday, over 300 websites and blogs staged a 24-hour online protest over a record company's attempt to prevent them from distributing downloadable copies of "The Grey Album." The sites offered the album for download to stage 24 hours of mass copyright infringement.

"The Grey Album" mixes music from the Beatles' "The White Album" and Jay-Z's "Black Album" and was created by Brian Burton, an LA deejay who did not obtain permission from the copyright holders of the music.

Unfortunately I got sucked in by law school and missed it. But you can still find links here to download the album.
