BLACK MARCH
Thursday, March 1st 2012 to Saturday 31st March 2012

With the continuing campaigns for Internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites such as Megaupload under allegations of ‘piracy’ and ‘conspiracy’ the time has come to take a stand against music, film and media companies’ lobbyists.

The only way is to hit them where it truly hurts.
Their profit margins.

March 2012 is the end of the 1st quarter in economic reports worldwide.

Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally. Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy, Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine.

Wait the 4 weeks to buy them in April: see the film later, etc. Holding out for just 4 weeks, maximum, will leave a gaping hole in media and entertainment companies’ profits for the 1st quarter, an economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments worldwide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes.
This action can give a statement of intent:

 ”We will not tolerate the Media Industries’ lobbying for legistation which will censor the internet.”

Just a reminder that this is still a thing. 

It’s not a big step, but one of those “If enough people do it, then maybe” scenarios.

I’m in.

Same.  I had already pre-ordered a book for my Kindle today, and I normally would have hesitation about hurting first-week sales numbers (especially for new authors, because it can hurt their career), but after this, there’s nothing I want anyway.  I’m in.

Reblogging

I’m glad to see this come around again. People have a tendency to forget this kind of thing after a while. Who’s actually planning on doing this still?

I am going to do this except one lapse to see the hunger games movie because if i didn’t, i would have to stay off the bddsg forums to avoid spoilers for how well they adapted it, and i’m not staying away from those darlings

ill probably end up accidentally buying books too

is this everywhere or just america
