 The label is now defunct in that it does not receive any new submissions and does not intend to release new material in the immediate future, but pledges to continues to host the previously released albums online.
 Some well-known artists who have been released on Protest Records include Beastie Boys (vol.
 1), Cat Power (vol.
 1), Sonic Youth (vol.
 2), DJ Spooky (vol 3.)
, Saul Williams (vol 3.)
, Mudhoney (vol.
 4), Chumbawamba (vol.

 give 'em to friends.
 just don't sell 'em".
