Peer-to-Peer Legal Defense Fund



Downhill Battle has set up a defense fund for the targets of the recent RIAA lawsuits. The fund is based on a p2p model—donations go directly from donors to RIAA targets with no middleperson collecting or distributing the funds. This mechanism solves both the trust and tax issues that would plague a centralized defense fund. We currently have 7 RIAA targets signed up, and together they have a total of $52,500 in estimated legal costs. Collectively, we have the power to make the RIAA lawsuits irrelevant, so please donate.
