Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

Shameful how americans at the top are more protective of the entertainment profits than of american youth and the drug problem.
On a scale of 1 to 10, the drug problem is a 10 and the movie piracy problem is 1.
I recognize that movie and music piracy for profit is a problem, but the solution is lower prices and better control of pirate product vendors who operate at fleamarkets and at streets. Product traceability through documents should be able detect the source of pirate products and their distributors.
And in what industry is the drug problem the greatest problem? The entertainment industry. The same industry that is more concerned about movie camcording than the health, destroyed by drugs, of its workers, the actors and musicians.
