As you mentioned RMS in your reply, I would like to state that RMS does have a stated position regarding a boycott of the MPAA. The position was given in MIT's Media Lab on Thursday, April 19, 2001. Link follows if you'd like to read the entire article: Copyright and Globalization in the Age of Computer Networks. The quote you're looking for is the following:
STALLMAN: I have a suggestion. If I were to suggest totally boycotting movies, I think people would ignore that suggestion. They might consider it too radical. So I would like to make a slightly different suggestion which comes to almost the same thing in the end, and that is, don't go to a movie unless you have some substantial reason to think it's good. Now this will lead in practice to almost the same result as a total boycott of Hollywood movies. In extension, it's almost the same but, in intention, it's very different. Now I've noticed that many people go to movies for reasons that have nothing to do with whether they think the movies are good. So if you change that, if you only go to a movie when you have some substantial reason to think it's good, you'll take away a lot of their money.
As you can see, this position is very witty and very much encapsulates the stance that RMS has in this subject.
