I wonder how well a real boycott against Hollywood might work? As well as the major music labels? I'd be all for it, personally. Then maybe they'd realize that they actually DO depend on the peons for their livelihoods.

Oh wait, I forgot that's just a total pipe dream. Of course if we boycotted them, no matter how public the boycott was, they'd just blame piracy for their declining revenues and throw tantrums like a bunch of babies, whining for legislation to protect them instead of innovating their way out of the quagmire they seem to want to stay in.

Still, I'd be all about a boycott. Wonder how easy that would be to get going?



Asking millions of Americans to stop watching TV/Movies? Good luck.

I've been boycotting them for quite a while already. Not on purpose or anything, just incidentally.

They're basically saying "We want what we paid for".

They are pissed because the Obama admin is bought and paid for by anti-piracy advocates.

What they don't understand is that Obama is just staying ahead of the vote, and he'll still be ready to ram through disastrous legislation against "piracy" in his second term. One step back, two steps forward. Leak a few statements and the sheeple following him become passive.
