Valley Park, MO | Damn Actions and statements like that make me wish I would have been boycotting the MPAA as I have been for the RIAA for some time now. (can't even remember last CD I bought)... The problem is now that my local theater finally upgraded to Digital projection I actually enjoy going to the movies again. And with HD DVD's looking so good I sometimes can't help but to buy a movie... The RIAA on the other hand I have had minimal issues boycotting and don't really care for the majority of the things they have to offer.
I have cut down on, and sold many of my movies though but I still occasionally pick one up. It is amazing how afraid of new technology(not even new anymore really) the xxAA's are.
Burn in hell xxAA's

| Ok, see, that's the problem. First, boycotts don't do a damn. Write your senators, tell people you know about this.
Second, disliking what they do doesn't mean you cant buy HD-DVDs. I have trouble rationalizing CDs, though. As bad as they may be, the MPAA is actually a bit ahead of the game than the RIAA when it comes to the whole 'digital' thing.. Funny, when you consider the RIAA has been dealing with it longer.
Just shows how antequated the RIAA is, really. |

Valley Park, MO | I agree the boycotting doesn't do much... If anything the **AA's use it as ammo saying sales are down xy amount and the only one cause for said loss is theft..... But at same time voting with my wallet seems like the the only big thing I can do as I have never seen a response from one my government officials that makes it seem like they give a damn. I haven't written them much, but in my few dealings if I have sent a letter the response if fairly generic and just a quick response of why they support the opposite of my view the end..

Dunnellon, FL | I fish around p2p first and download interesting movies/music. If it's crap, it's deleted. If I like, I go buy a store perfect and legitimate copy. But - only at pawn shops or used disc retailers.  Totally cut the RIAA/MPAA out of the picture as much as possible on my behalf. Remember, every new and gotta have release always eventually ends up in the bargain bin at the local guns-n-goodies shop. While you're there, stock up on ammo to fight off the XXAA's when their goons show up. Like most cowards they'll back off when your rifle's bigger than theirs.

The RIAA killed my legal webcast. Sadly it will never be mourned... |
