  1. Boykott CSS possible? on DVD Hearing Victory: We Won - For Now · · Score: 1

    Let's face it people. Consumers paid for the creation of CSS. Consumers paid for the implementation of CSS. Consumers pays for the distribution of CSS. Consumers pays for the decryption of CSS. And now we, you and me, are paying for the legal actions agains people like you and me. Thats right, You paid for it when you got that copy of The Matrix on DVD, and you paid for it when you got your DVD player. Just boycotting the CSS protected movies would be pretty hard to do, but similar causes has been won buy other means. As an example in Scandinavia, ordinary people protested against excessive use of packaging material on consumer products, the situation was the same, people paid for something no one wanted, and protested by taking out the toothpaste of the box and leave the boxes on the shelves in the supermarket. eventuyally the companies stoped using the boxes. I know there are tons of creative people out there, come up with a similar idea! Post your suggestions on how to do something like this. Billion dollar corporation will listen if the masses protest, for sure.
