We should therefore boycott all media produced by big companies who use the money we spend on entertainment to try and harm the biggest catalyst of positive social change ever seen and reduce opportunities to innovate and compete in the digital marketplace. So if you care about the future, and about a free internet, deprive these monsters of their operating funds! Pirate all big-media you consume! But please, continue paying the indies who produce good work without all the "let's legislate ourselves back in time, and this time we'll SUCCEED in banning the VCR!" Hollywood nonsense.
