Well I think the idea is to show a big middle finger to major companies in the game, music, and (standard) movie industry, so downloading pron, or buying stuff from independent, small companies, or individual person, should be somewhat o.k.
Why not take all the money you were going to give to these three mega-corporations (music, films, books/publishing) and buy something else:
take the family out to eat
buy a dog/cat/horse, a house
re-decorate the kitchen
a car
a new television/stereo system
a computer/Apple/iPad
a vacuum cleaner
buy flowers for all the women you work with
buy a prostitute for the weekend (instead of porn)
take the mistress dancing, …
It’s not really that hard… keep moving the money around just not in those three principle areas.
That’s the whole idea behind this… the rest of consumer goods/purchasing will go up except in those three areas.
The message we send will be loud and clear:
Without us (the consumer) you fuckers don’t have a job.
Fuck you, respect us and our rights.
I think you hit on something there. But becareful where you spend your money. There are companies out there that aren’t Media companies, but they support SOPA and PIPA, they shouldn’t get your dollars either.
Isn’t Mass Effect 3 coming out in March? Good luck.
You could wait until April to buy it. It’ll still be in the stores.
You still have to install that damn Origin thing.
I can wait for ME3.
I’m well aware than those with “chronic consumptionism disorder” will not participate, but others could, and should.
+ what crewmanguy said.
I’m in.
Call me an enemy of the cause if you will; you cannot stop me from downloading porn. Not even for one day…

Don’t they try to do this each year and fail miserably?
no, just no
Spoiler alert-
It’s not going to work
I’ve apparently been doing this whole ‘Black March’ thing for almost a year or so.
You’re a saint
Wait WHY would anybody do this? It’s not just going to fuck over all those “evil” corporations – you’re impacting the economy too, you morons.
Here’s a few ideas…

If your’s country economy welfare is based on consuptionism, then it should bankrupt as soon as possible.
