Black March!
P.S: If you think this doesn’t concern you, Megaupload’s owners are from New Zealand, today (1.19.2012) they were deported to USA and will be prosecuted under a crime that DOESN’T EXIST IN THEIR COUNTRY, under a law that HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET.
That’s….really fucking awful.
OOC: not being funny but isn’t that sort of illegal arrest? if the law doesn’t exist and the people being arrested aren’t in the same country there’s a ton of by-laws they have to get past to get away with it. doesn’t matter if you’re the american government, you bloody well uphold the laws you make us abide by or you’lll end up with everyone breaking the law. idiots.
((^^^ This. This is why we STILL need to protest through March. For their rights that were taken from them. Hell, even sooner then March if you are able to.))
While a fantastic idea, we should still support the smaller independent sellers; this kind of blackout would hurt them more than the major companies.
In fact, we could try changing our buying habits to buy from independent sellers, not major corporations.
