LET'S GET FIZZICAL: As you'll know, especially if you saw the Superbowl [if you're looking for Janet Jackson, scroll down the page], Pepsi have got a special offer in the US where you can win a free tune from iTunes. Downhill Battle wants you to use your winning codes wisely and are evn offering to collect unwanted free downloads to put them to good use. They're pointing out that the major labels only pass on about eight cents per download to the artists; independent labels are sharing up to half the buck with the people who actually make the music. It's a timely campaign - remember how the RIAA likes to complain that if you use Kazaa rather than the a legal download none of the money goes to the artist? It's virtually the same if you downoad their stuff legally.
