British rock legend Peter Gabriel holds a Web contest to remix a classic
song, draws more than 700 entries, and, in the process, promotes his
record label

Ever since music file sharing upended the record business, labels and
artists have been doing everything they can to keep copyrighted tunes
from ricocheting around the Internet for free. British singer-songwriter
Peter Gabriel recently went in totally the opposite direction, posting
the musical ingredients of his 1982 classic Shock the Monkey and
inviting fans to morph it into something new and original.
Share and enjoy,
