Black March 2012 - Are you in? or out?

They are targeting the wrong group.

"Hey everyone who illegally downloads music for free, lets not buy any music for a whole month!"

People who are paying for music and media aren't pissed off about Megaupload. Heck, most of them probably don't even know.

But sure, I'm in, because like others have said, I don't waste money on that anyway.

I download music and if I like it I pay for it, same for games and movies. I see downloading just as a way to avoid paying for shit. So, you're kinda wrong there. ;)
 
Who buys that stuff anyway? last time I bought music was when they sold cassette tapes.

And the last movie i went to.. I did a double header and watched two.

I'm in!

You are a good person then, but also a minority. Humans are selfish.

I wouldn't say so. I download a lot of stuff, but if I have the feeling something is really worth it's money than I'm going to buy it.
For example I buyed a FlashFXP license. Why? Because it's a good tool, it has a reasonable price and I think the guys who developed it and put all the work into it derserve it to be paid.

Cool. But once again, you are a minority.

I am 100% in favor of this movement. But the overall response in this thread of, "Yes, I'm in because I don't do any of that stuff anyway" just proves my point.

For this to work we need people who ARE downloading media to say, "You know what, this is a good thing to do. I am going to CHANGE the way I'm living and stop doing that for a month".

And in order for that to happen they either need to target the non-tech savies OR encourage the tech savies to spread the message as much as possible.

Just my 2 cents, not saying I am 100% right.
 
I never bought a CD or DVD in my life! all pirated LOL
I only bought books for school but at university I bought photocopied books! Sometimes I go to cinema but to view italian movies because the pirated version is a very shit always!

...and... if someone came and stole your DVD player, and TV, and all your stuff, then drove away in your car with it all, that'd be equally fine/funny. Got it. Tks.
 
I'm in! I had enough with SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, they suck and violates human rights! Although I had my own music here, I'm sticking to it. I'm not gonna buy anything new this March, those media companies are gonna prepare for their worst. We made them rich, they made us poor.

So F*#% them off! Let's make history by creating our own "PEOPLE POWER WORLD REVOLUTION"!
 
I'm in.
With buying CD/vinyls etc, it really depends what record label it is from. For example, buying from smaller local labels wouldn't help the huge labels supporting SOPA/PIPA/ACTA but would help with the boycott. Same goes for film.

If someone came and copied my DVD player, TV and my stuff and then drove away with his copies ... I wouldn't mind ;)
