If you want to attack the mainstream media don't support their movies or music. Rupert Murdock doesn't separate the money from Simpsons and Fox News when he rolls around in it. We can retroactively boycott the big companies since CDs and DVDs don't get used up like gasoline or food. Look through your collection and see which DVDs and CDs you have are from the big six Viacom, News Corp, Sony, GE, Disney, and Time Warner and their subsidiaries. Set them aside and sell them, trade them, or donate them. Use a2im.org, riaaradar.com, stopbigmedia.com, and savetheinternet.com to see what they own and what they don't.

You can also vote on IMDb.com to knock the movies owned by the big guys out of the top 500 and the smaller ones into it which will affect sales. You can sign up and vote while listening to the radio:

Lol, you going for longest first post? What good does selling something you've already paid royalties for do, exactly?

Nonetheless, you raise good points. The MSM companies are very much in bed with the music producers, and the music producers are quite likely to put politically relevant bands down. Do you see Jim Boyd getting a huge contract? Pirate, barter, and be careful to pay royalties to those you can wholeheartedly support--the producers as well as the band are worthy of support. Responsible purchasing is a powerful weapon. Boycotts wake corporations up.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

P.S. This isn't a recipe to attack them, but one to starve them. Which I think is a better tactic, myself...

If you sell a used copy of There Will Be Blood to the store they sell it instead of a new copy. It would be best if you didn't support them at all but if you did so in the past you can still hurt them.
