It is known for everybody what actions are those organizations doing world wide: declaring you are a criminal because you watch/download material, applying censorship to internet, adding fees to buy media in some countries just because you could use it for criminal purposes and those things.
Specially, I am referring to megaupload case: They closed megaupload with no proofs, and they are suing as much people as they can, just by giving their IPs, with the only argument that they are causing lots of revenue loss to multimedia market.
Well, the first thing I will say publicly is: A people wich download some material is not a buy loss as they argue. Like me, for example, I don't, and will not buy everything I hear, see, watch online. So just the fact I download does not mean that I would buy it. It is just false: I will not buy it anyway!
So what's the real loss for them? Their fail is that time had change, now we are in 2012 year, not in 1950, and they simply refuse to change their business model. It is like if dinosaurs try to sue meteors that ended them..just a nonsense.
But, the real matter is: What can YOU do against it? It is pretty simple, and this is what I do. I declare it publicly and if you are Sony, Emi, SGAE, GEMA, RIAA, MPAA, Hollywood have some problem with my declarations, then go and come with me, I will tell you this again at the face!
So, what can be done to force those agencies/companies to realize we are just fed up to be treated like criminals?
Very simple: Do not go to theaters, do not buy original music CDs, do not buy films. Not just a month, not do it never until they change their paths.
I usually have this conversation with people, and they often say things like: a person can't do anything against them, and so on, this is simply a false argument.
If you cause a real loss of revenue to them, they will realize they are alive thanks to us, which are their customers, and they will learn how to treat their potential customers, rather than mark everybody as a criminal, and the stuff they do.
So, in my case, I am not going to theaters, not buying anything with copyrights since the closure of megaupload until it comes back again and they face reality (which the later I doubt it would happen so...)...
And publicly I say: I encourage everybody to pirate copyrighted materials always. Let's show them what a real loss of revenue can mean!
