		<description>Like others I too am on boycott. I&#039;ve not purchased a thing since it started either from the RIAA&#039;s nor from the MPAA&#039;s headmasters. When the major cartels of music started sue&#039;em all I dropped them like a hot potato and went to movies. When the Hollydud cartels did the same, I repeated. I don&#039;t need them, I resent being called a theif, I resent them spreading malware to further their aims, I resent their methods of business, and I don&#039;t like their products. 

Each and every person they sue, increase that boycott. Not by one, oh no. But by circle of friends each has. Add to this they have reached down to college level to try and siphon off money from those that have the least to spare. Each of those will remember that. They are creating an entire generation that will at some point the income earning masses. So they are limiting their future and that future won&#039;t be long in coming. 

Lieing about stats and reasons has always been something that those of us here have known or suspected but those that listen to the 5 o&#039;clock news may not have heard about yet. Now that they have legislation based on these lies it takes on a whole different aspect. 

You need not worry, I won&#039;t grace the halls of the theater tomorrow. I won&#039;t be buying some new cd. Won&#039;t be in iTunes store either. Nor will I be in rental store looking of the latest rehash of the 30th sequel of a poorly done movie.</description>

		<description>&quot;I will never join a boycott of the RIAA/MPAA ever. Only thieves do.&quot;


Dear sir, we all tolerate diversity of opinions here, but I must humbly ask you to take your trolling elsewhere.  First off, you, like all the other lying morons in the industry, have used words out of context, resulting in a false statement that compares P2P users to thieves.  Filesharing is not stealing, and it never was.


Furthermore, all concerns about filesharing or piracy aside, you have incorrectly generalized everyone involved in the boycott as a thief.  You&#039;re probably not aware of this, but not everyone who disapproves of the industry&#039;s tactics (and therefore, doesn&#039;t support them) is a P2P user.  The industry knows this as well as the rest of us, but they choose to ignore it, so they can continue to blame their losses on filesharing, and use the entire P2P movement as a scapegoat.  You&#039;re forgetting one very important thing:  We do not need their corporate product to survive.  It is something we can do completely without, if we choose not to accept it.  We will never forgive the industry&#039;s attack against their consumers, and so we will continue our crusade against them until the day they die.  Only then, when culture is free from the shackles of consumerism and unfair intellectual property laws that have progressively infringed upon the rights of consumers since their conception, will we, the consumers be free to enjoy it, and creators free to cultivate, inspire and innovate, without fear of persecution from multi-billion dollar media conglomerates who manipulate the law to their liking, specifically for the purpose of gaining maximum control.</description>

		<description>Nobody seems to be questioning why legislation is being written by private companies...
Clearly, politicians have nothing better to do than passing bills which are deleterious to the public interest.

Perhaps we should sack the reprobate governments and politicians, and instead implement a true administrative democracy; Where ordinary citizens are elected every 6 months to form a ruling council. The Athenians pioneered this corruption-free democratic idea.</description>
