It is basically a massive boycott of all media. Do not go to the movies, do not buy music, do not buy video games.

Basically a stand, telling the RIAA, MPAA and all them that we DO support their products, so stop fighting your consumers.

I am going to participate anyhow. The site does bring up some important points;

How many have bought a CD or watched a movie that turned out to be less than satisfactory? How many have felt cheated after a night out at the movies, having gone there after seeing trailers, commercials, and posters for another big box office release that turned out to be one of those "let's save the movie company a few bucks by fooling people into watching this dud during the first weekend" flicks? How many get sick to their stomachs while hearing about revenue losses after viewing an episode of "Cribs" on MTV? The production companies have the audacity to say that we are using people's creativity and talent, without paying for it. Well, guess what? Most P2P users actually do buy the products they like!

We continue to see fantasy figures about the kind of revenues the production companies would have had, if only their products were not obtainable online. Of course, it is complete and utter nonsense. They seem to be oblivious to the highly human trait they themselves possess: The Experience of Ownership. Everybody wants to own things. A pirated copy can never live up to the experience of a movie theatre or replace the sense of pride that comes from having a collectors edition sitting on your bookshelf. Even those who the entertainment industry would paint as criminals are consumers too.



Anyhow, I thought I should share.
