The Gauntlet has been thrown.
Country Rap/Rocker Kid Rock urges his fans to download his music from free P2P services and boycott iTunes.

You, know how much money the oil companies have? If you need some gas, just go fill your tank up and drive off, they're not going to miss it."
Of course Atlantic Records the label Rock is currently signed to has requested him to publicly denounce file sharing. Rock fired back stating,” Wait a second, you've been stealing from the artists for years. Now you want me to stand up for you?"
Atlantic Records is not the only feeling the sting of Rock's crusade for his iTunes boycott is real. None of his Warner-era albums are available on iTunes, which has only his debut Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast album.
