No my point is that if there was a big movie coming into theatres and the boycott was then, people could put it off for the week before they go to see it. The problem is there are really no major movie releases right now or anything like that, so the people who are participating probably wouldn't have spent money on entertainment anyway!

Hmmm, good point, but all the same, if the boycott had fallen on the week of May 19th, I don't think I could've held off from going to see Star Wars episode three. I know, I'm a traitorous pig. :D

Good. This boycott will hold on my part. I hope as many people as possible would participate in this, so we could really send a message.

Tell all your friends and tell them to tell all their friends - that's what I call peer-to-peer. :)

Does imported stuff from Japan and Korea count? I know it's not MPAA or RIAA, but Japan is RIAJ and they are asses for winning that case in Japan against P2P companies.

That's the only thing both those industries understand M-O-N-E-Y. Hit them in their wallets and they'll take notice!

Yes! I've been pushing for this for ages - boycott the media industries! We don't need to be entertained every waking moment of our lives. We don't need to watch tv, movies, listen to music, play games every second. Get outside and teach the industry a lesson!

You're only about three years too late... (Not that you can't boycott them now for the heck of it.)
