Um, no. The Hunger Games is coming to theaters then. NOTHING WILL STOP ME.
LOL Yea, I don’t think boycotts work as well as people want them too. We’ve been waiting forever for this movie. The Hunger Games movie coming out is going to be ditch day.
I’ll do it, but I will not not go see the Hunger Games March 23rd at 12:01 am…. I’ve waited for this for almost 2 years. Plus, for fucks sake… March 25th is my birthday, I ALWAYS go to the movies on my birthday! You can’t tell me what to do when I’ve been doing it for almost 30 years!
And the fandom of a book series about protesting a corrupt government more predicated on using the media to keep its populace poor, oppressed, and misinformed refuses to take part in a boycott against a governmental bill poised to further an agenda of keeping the American people poor, oppressed, and misinformed through manipulation of media outlets.

PLEASE READ THIS (SOPA & PIPA RELATED)
MEGAUPLOAD HASN’T BEEN TAKEN DOWN BY SOPA OR PIPA, BUT THE FBI.
It was part of a two-year-FBI-investigation that is NOT RELATED TO SOPA OR PIPA at all .. calm down guys, it won’t happen yet and I hope that Obama better won’t sign this stupid contract.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD BY REBLOGGING.
reblogging this because i’m sure people have missed the point

It was their main recruiting poster, hung nearly ten feet up a wall! This means the hackers have LADDER technology! Are we headed for a future where everyone has to pay $50 for one of those locked plexiglass poster covers? More after the break …
on Tumblr’s response to Anonymous taking down the websites of the Dept. of Justice, the Motion Picture Association, the RIAA, and Universal
A fair counterpoint, honestly.

I think it is a little horrifying to see how persistently obtuse the government (and the corporations that do, to a degree, pull the strings) is being with this whole censorship disaster on top of the economic crisis.
Have they never heard of the word Revolution and seen what has consistently brought that about throughout history?
The thing about the 1% is that they are outnumbered and they should know it. If the people cannot get what they need through peace and diplomacy there will come a time when it is simply taken through sheer numbers as it has been in the past.

I am seeing a lot of people going “but I can’t give up insert-name-of-media-drug-here for an ENTIRE MONTH!!” and so on.
I want to make this short so.
Really? Really?? People’s inability to be patient for A SINGLE MONTH is a little staggering. The movies are not going to disappear, neither are the video games or TV series. This is for a greater cause, you can sacrifice a little of yourself to do something IMPORTANT for once. You have what, 80 years to live?
You can give up a month of being a media-slave for the better of the rest of your life, and the rest of the world.
Come on people.
PERSPECTIVE AND PRIORITIES ARE A THING.
EDIT: Also, even if it might hurt the artists and the actors and the people we love it’s a necessary sacrifice, and I can assure you that one month of not shoveling your money in their hands isn’t going to throw them into bankruptcy.
If it has a consequence and an effect that’s fantastic, because we’re being proactive and DOING SOMETHING about this issue.
not to mention i guarantee you guys must have a stash of old stuff you’ve yet to watch. get through that shit.

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.”

megaupload shut down
The Federal Bureau of Investigation moved against a group of suspected online pirates Thursday, targeting the popular file-sharing website megaupload.com a day after Washington lawmakers were besieged by complaints about legislation designed to crack down on the online sharing of pirated copies of music, movies and other material, people familiar with the matter said.
Investigators said there was no connection between arrests in their two-year investigation and the political firestorm that erupted this week over a pending vote on the Stop Online Piracy Act.
This is a big deal, and even if it’s not related to SOPA, the timing certainly does a lot to put it on the minds of those worried about the law.
