There wasn't organisational funding for this project, it has been launched by two Australian musicians Kelly and Mudge. Each local groups have his own way of get money: selling cd's in demo, in shops, etc. "We want to hear everyone's songs about stopping war and making peace, and we'll put them on the website, as well as considering them for another CD (although we won't publish songs which condone violence from any side of a conflict)." It seems that protest songs are coming back in the front of the music actuality: Billy Bragg, who also appears on the record, declared "Protest music was prematurely declared to be unfashionable: hearing these songs might help people who feel ambiguous about it make a conscious decision to oppose the war."
Respected uk war journalist John Pilger said: "The Peace Not War CD is vital to the grass roots opposition to war, conquest and occupation. Censorship of anti-war music by the BBC, MTV and other media is all the more reason for doing it yourself."
