  1. What you can do by Cholten · · Score: 1 · on Firefly Likely to be Cancelled

    If, like me, you'd like to keep firefly on the air there's a lot of things you can do:

    Check out Firefly Immediate Assistance

    Sign the Online petition

    Post on the show's bulletin board

    Email Fox

    Write to fox at:
    FOX BROADCASTING CO
    ATTN: SANDY GRUSHOW, CHAIRMAN, FOX ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
    10201 WEST PICO BLVD
    LOS ANGELES CA 90035

    Write to the sponsors

    If you live in the UK email Sky (Fox UK) to pick up the show

    More than anything if anyone you know is a "Neilsen Family" then please get them to what the pilot "Serenity" when it airs in December.

    Fan campaigns do work and have in the past entended the runs of both Buffy and Roswell.

    There is already a fan-contribution paid-for full-page advert going into the December 9th issue of L.A. Variety.

    Don't give up hope yet! :-)

  2. Re:wow by k-rad · · Score: 1 · on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama

    You can always email fox and tell them you hope it works.

  3. Drop FOX an Email by Kombat · · Score: 1 · on The Tick to be Cancelled

    For those of you truly dedicated to the show, you can drop FOX an email at askfox@foxinc.com. It'll only take a minute, and it might just make a difference. I've already sent mine. What have we got to lose?

  4. So, You Want To Make A Difference by grantdh · · Score: 3 · on Crackdowns, Fools and the MPAA

    OK gang, so we're talking boycots and we're talking about how MPAA et al are bastards. Great - even if all of us just boycot, I'm sure we're not going to impact that much (unless we buy lots of DVD's on a daily basis :)

    So, why not take the time & effort to email/contact them? Tell them that you're boycotting, that you're telling your friends and that you're supporting the DeCSS/LiViD folks.

    Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a statement that could be wrong: I'd say most of us on /. are fairly typical in one respect. We'll bitch, we'll moan, we'll talk it up - but when it comes to the crunch, we never quite get around to doing something about it.

    Don't you just hate that? This is why governments/corporations take notice if 1% of a target demographic respond. For every person who does do something, there are at least 10 who want to but don't get around to it. Thus that 1% represents about 10% and that's enough to count as a vocal majority.

    This is also why highly organised groups/cults/sects/religious organisations/etc get the ear of politics/corporates. They manage to influence/order a lot of their consituents to do something, thus inflating the numbers and throwing out the "Total Number x 10 = % population who are annoyed/concerned" :)

    Anyhow, to help you folks tell these people what you think, here's some handy info:

    MPAA
    Their web site has no "contact us" that I could find. How convenient, no? :)

    If you want to get physical, try their snail mail address:

    15503 Ventura Blvd.
    Encino, California 91436
    USA

    Or phone on: (818) 995-6600

    Otherwise, email to WareNet (the guys who made their site) and ask why no online "Contact Us" was supplied.

    Disney
    The investor relations feedback form at http://disney.go.com/mail/investorinfo/ would be a good place to hassle them.

    Sony
    Go to http://www.world.sony.com/Feedback/in dex.html, select the part of the world you're in and tell them you're so annoyed, you're not going to buy any more PlayStation stuff and you've kicked your AIBO out in the snow :)

    MGM
    Fill in the form at http://www.mgm.com/corporate/email/in dex.html and let them know.

    Paramount
    Send an email to info@pde.paramount.com and ask for information about their logic behind this as you're sure it's not what's being said in public :)

    Fox
    Send an email to askfox@foxinc.com and ask them why they're doing this. You might also want to mention the fact that their Simpson's splash page is seriously lame :)

    Universal
    Go to http://www.mca.com/fp/contact_form.html and fill in the form.

    Warner
    No "contact us" in an obvious location, so I gave up - there must be one somewhere here but it's very well hidden :)


    Now, much in all as I'd love to say "Wild, uncontrolled bursts - we do more damage that way" - the reality is that a reasoned, controlled message stating that you disagree with their actions and have commenced boycotting their products will have much more impact than a flame or mail bombing.

    Do it right and we get respect. Do it in classic "Script Kiddy, 31337 Wanker Fuckwit Mode" and we're doomed :)
