Following up on yesterday's BoingBoing posts (one, two) about opposition to the MPAA's ridicule-inspiring "respectcopyrights.org" ad campaign, we have an update from blogger provocateur Defamer — in-theater civil disobedience!
Yesterday's "call to arms" to resist the MPAA's cloying "Respect Copyrights" PSAs is off to a great start. In fact, some readers took the protest to the next, completely awesome level, leaving us somewhat ashamed that we didn't think this up in the first place. Pirate taunts! [One reader says:]
"So we took the 'put an end to piracy' portion of the Manny Perry ad and ran with it….. Imagine twenty coeds and their gentlemen friends standing in their seats hurling archaic curses and 'ARRRRRRRR's at the screen for the duration of the clip. Surprisingly, we drew chuckles, not Diet Cokes to the head, from our fellow patrons. Viva La Resistance!"
