FraterPerdurabo: Now, I don't know exactly which companies backed those Acts, but I'm pretty certain that I never was their customer in the first place.

If you were never their customer then you pretty much never buy anything.

You'd be surprised. I read through that entire list and the only three brands that I buy from there are Intel, Microsoft and Louis Vuitton.
I wasn't planning on buying a new CPU, OS or clothes this month anyway, so count me in for the boycott.

Long story short - I don't watch movies, hence I don't buy them. The music I listen to is 80-90s for the most part and I already have what I need. I hate clutter and I hate things so I buy little, infrequently and of long-term value.

So that puts you in the "pretty much never buys anything" category then. :P

That is the kind of BS why nobody takes actions like "black march" or whatever seriously. 5 years are the maxium possible sentence. Michael Jacksons Doc got 4 years for Involuntary manslaughter, the maximun sentence for that is somewhere around 15 years.

That's like saying I would get two years for insulting somebody in Germany.

Whereas I only have a need for one of those things. I have everything else I require right here in my basement.

If it's a boycott, shouldn't it be called "Red March", not "Black March"?

Being in the black means making a profit. Being in the red means taking a loss.

I have no argument with this.

Shouldn't it say "From Austria" under your profile?

Sometimes it is better to remain anonymous.

In order to really comply, you'd have to stop your subscription to TV, Netflix, etc... which I won't be doing, anyway.

Also, what an extremely unfortunately named boycott.

I think Black is the association with a black hole. There is just nothing. Red March was probably avoided because "Red"...well, you know.

Well, I haven't bought anything since 1st March, 7 PM local time. And will only buy Indie Bundles for the rest of the month.

So everyone was happy about the Black Friday, okay.
