BLACK MARCH - JOIN US! & EXPECT US!

[midnight]

With the continuing campaigns for Internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites such as Megaupload under allegations of 'piracy' and 'conspiracy', the time has come to take a stand against music, film and media companies' lobbyists.

The only way to hit them where it truly hurts... Their profit margins.

Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally. Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy. Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine.

Wait the 4 weeks to buy them in April, see the film later, etc. Holding out for just 4 weeks will lave a gaping hole in the media and entertainment companies' profits for the 1st quarter. An economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments worldwide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes.

1. Does it count as supporting the boycott if I wasn't going to do any of those things anyway?

4. Same here! I don't purchase any of those items.

Guess you can count me in!

2. Question.

What if the recordings I buy are basically so called obscure artists who are constantly touring in their van and sell CDs to help on gas money? In other words, the type of music I normally buy is a long way from mainstream and if I buy a cd or download, it may help in some small way to get them exposure which they need to spread the music.
I do understand the gist of the article but I really try to support Blues artists and others who are making good music and cannot get heard any other way.

3. If I Have To Pay For It

I don't own it when it comes to movies, music, games, software, or anything else that is so over-priced that common sense prevents sane persons from owning it.

5. I'm signed up! No downloads, no purchases, not for 4 months.

Destroy their quarterly sales. And I'll get Mass Effect 3 in JUNE, suckas.
