And I haven't bought a single thing. Feels good man.

(If it comes to, I'll only buy from GoG and Indievania at this point)

Congratulations, I'm trying to reduce my buying so I know what you mean.

EDIT: Just looked up Black March. Seems like a good idea, but I doubt it'll have any effect because not enough people will actually do it.

I think that the key for Black March is to target the big media companies and not every single small indie house out there.

For instance, I just read the thread here about Break Blocks and though the game itself isn't exactly my favorite type, I'm going to buy it just for their support to MSF and waiting till April just doesn't feel right.

Just a thought.

ups...

Of course it's only directed to the big corporations. But also a lot of game companies, Activision and Sony for instance, need to be put to their place due SOPA and ACTA.

The economy is like a forest. If some flowers are growing into giant trees and steal other's the sun light, they start to be high up their asses to keep that place. But they forget that it is US who are making them keep their place.

I don't believe much in this anon bullshit, but we as customers have the choice. It is not us who get depended on corporations, no, they are depended on us.

To be honest, I get the impression this movement will backfire. It wasn't promoted well enough and it will just mean that internet anarchist keep pirating.

I fail to see what this can achieve? If anything, it's almost counter-productive. If this will actually have a somewhat serious effect then the corporations can very easily identify its cause. Will they back down? No, but after a month, you will. And unless you are going to boycott their products for the rest of your life, you will be a customer again in April.

Finally have revenue coming in and you're saying I can't spend it? Screw you man! :p

Already bought a DVD this morning.

Not neccessary. The idea of Black March is just to boycott products of corporations who signed on SOPA, ACTA, PIPA aso. at the month of their quarter sales. It's not to destroy them, but to give them a message not to fuck over their customers.
Maybe it won't be success, but it could be a challange for one not to be a zombie consuming everything highly advertised :P. Well, as long as you don't support the ones involved with the anti-piracy treaties, I seriously don't give a flying fuck. Enjoy the movie man :P

Is it a good or a bad thing when I realize this probably doesn't concern me since I'm very unlikely to buy from any of the big corporations who lobby for such things anyway? At least not as far as games and music are concerned.

Maybe movies but I seldom buy DVDs for myself. Hm, it could get a little more challenging, if this means I shouldn't go the movies this month. :/

I'm not brushing my teeth for a month to help the war on terror! So far so good, but my social life is somehwat declining.

Yeah, I blame the war on terror for that.

Enjoy Dirty Dancing? No, I don't think that's possible. :p

I'll let my mother enjoy it when I give it to her.

I pre ordered Mass Effect 3 CE . I can not tell " Take it back " to the delivery guy .

I won't be buying anything this March, but since I don't buy much anyway I unfortunately won't be contributing much in terms of a noticeable delta.
