Today has been dubbed Grey Tuesday, courtesy of hundreds of websites worldwide. The websites, organized by Downhill Battle, are protesting EMI's cease-and-desist order on DJ Danger Mouse, who recently released The Grey Album.

The Grey Album is a remix record of mythic proportions - the music from The Beatles' White Album and the rhymes from Jay-Z's The Black Album have been fused together as one new album. EMI has essentially banned distribution of The Grey Album, both physically [only 3000 copies were made] and electronically, threatening anyone who hosts the MP3s with legal action. EMI controls the Beatles licensing and never gave permission for such an album to be created.

Today, hundreds of websites have uploaded the record in full in protest, and hundreds more have turned their colors grey in support of the cause. To find out more information on this issue and locate what sites are supporting Grey Tuesday, head to GreyTuesday.org.
