I stopped buying CDs the moment the RIAA started suing people. This will not change as long as the lawsuit policy continues. At this point even if they stopped suing people I wouldn’t give them any money, too much bad blood has been spilled. That’s what the a2f2a site is about, getting artist paid without financing the RIAA parasites.

I haven’t purchased a CD or DVD since I first visited here months ago. I always remind my friends the big downside to buying a CD every time they are planning to purchase one.

When I see these kind of choices:

“Whole album for sale on iTunes in 256 kbps AAC for $9.99!”

“Whole album in LOSSLESS on The Pirate Bay for FREE!”

I’ll just answer it like this: More money left for real living like paying rent!

The last time I went to the cinema, it was on my mind that some of my hard earned cash went to the fucking film industry! The film sucked as well!

Boycotts have been in hand for years and they’re definitely having an effect. Count on it.

However, there’s no way the cartels can admit it, or even acknowledge it’s going on, so they blame diminishing sales on market conditions, file sharers, etc and so on.

Cheers!

Well, reading your site and techdirt’s has really helped to keep me informed of the dirty extortion tactics being perpetrated by Big Media and especially the RIAA & MPAA in the name of “copyright”.

The effect has been that I hardly buy any RIAA controlled music or go to the cinema any more, in protest.

And I hardly do any “illegal” downloading, either and never have. How’s that for irony?

Yup, I’ve got no reason to buy.

Fuck you, assholes.

With the revelations surrounding the cartels forcing ISP’s to (presumably illegally) intercept traffic they are doing all they can to make sure that I (and millions of others) boycott them for life.

Way to look after your shareholders guys.
