That is hitemsong the entertainment industry is smugly secure about. We will eventually .come back.So we need a viable alternative to a total boycott. Something sustainable and also perfectly legal. Something more like a deliberate cut back instead of a cut off. I bet they’d be a lot more concerned if they heard people were commiting to only watching 1 new movie every 3 months. Or they are cutting back their fresh tv watching to so many hours per week. Also, we could opt for buying used media. Pawn shops, used bookstores, and Libraries either give away, or sell DVDs at a discount. It could even become a game or challenge month by month posting how many hours we’ve reduced our entertainment consumption. And stuff we already own wouldn’t count towards those hours.A boycott is more effective if there are viable alternatives to the usual habits. I think a cutback plan would have a deeper long term impact. Need to call it hitemsong better than a cutback plan though.What do you think?
