SOPA - BLACK MARCH PROTEST (JOIN NOW)

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."

The only reason the government is trying so hard to crack down on pirating is because of the big music and film industries boo-hooing about losing money. It all comes down to greed and it's sickening. If the industries think they're losing money now, join this protest and see how they do.

Read the statement from the US Department of Justice regarding the arrest of several associates of Megaupload:

"The individuals and two corporations -- Megaupload Limited and Vestor Limited -- were indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on Jan. 5, 2012, and charged with engaging in a racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, conspiring to commit money laundering and two substantive counts of criminal copyright infringement. The individuals each face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit racketeering, five years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, 20 years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering and five years in prison on each of the substantive charges of criminal copyright infringement."

20+ years. There are probably rapists and murderers who don't stay in prison for that long.

PLEASE JOIN THE PROTEST AGAINST SOPA.
