Boycott RIAA

[karatekid]

Last night on the Addaboy Radio Show I asked why there isn't a boycott against the RIAA. Well it turns out there is one.

Show those asshats how you feel about suing customers. Don't buy anything distributed by members of the RIAA (list at http://www.riaa.com/about/members/default.asp.) The big five include Sony, EMI, UMG, Time Warner, & BMG.

Be sure to tell as many people as you can about this.

BTW, www.riaa.org is down.

time warner u cant do crap about cuz it has cable internet in MANY areas and is a monopoly in those areas which totally blows...SONY has their filthy hand in soooo many things its impossible to boycott them....as for the rest of them...i dunno...i mean it seems like a worthy cause..but lets face it...there is very little we can do in this matter :( i mean i would love to give it to the RIAA no ky style...but these companies are so diverse and so all over the place...that we cant do much about it

Well, but these companies are split into divisions, and traditionally, unprofitable divisions get axed.

...well...unless you're Microsoft's XBox team...

I would get those Boycott RIAA stickers, but they cost money.

Haha danball, I think there's a site to download them.

Boycotting may be difficult, cuz then they'd blame the slump in sales on the internet (which is an easier target than crappy groups, same ol' same ol', inflated prices, etc). Maybe, write to the president of the companies and tell them what you think. It may make a larger impact. Most of these guys(and gals) only know what their people are telling them.
