THE PACK Message Boards

I challenged those views as if anyone wanted; could do to mine. Otherwise we are just going to have either:

A. "Viacom are evil, whaaa whaaa whaaa"
B. "LEAVE BRIT-VIACOM ALONE!!"

In essence I was stimulating the thread.

Point is, if you don't like Viacom simply stop using youtube, or stop watching their product. That's YOUR choice. People keep forgetting they have freedom of choice and if we don't like something, we don't HAVE to have anything to do with it. Most people i know find it irritating when someone vehemently begins raging against a business.

I suggest you start your own youtube-esque video site. Let people post whatever they want, but don't be surprised when the lawsuits start flooding in.

Oh, and i think you have blown the importance of FANDOM far out of proportion. 95% of the film-going, tv watching public DON'T spend hundreds of hours griping to total strangers.

A boycott will do jack s***. You would have to stop the large amount of casual users to have an affect. You know, the ones who do not use the internet often, those who will happily buy DVD's, those who do not see the problem.

So are you going to keep leading your holy boycott crusade?

Uhm o...k... I was the only one that mentioned the word "boycott" and I suppose I didn't emphasize a tone of slight sarcasm. I have, however, been a part of a successful boycott against Capcom that is in the hundreds of thousands. They ended up selling off peices of their company to make up for losses. So in some cases it works, and gets the company's attention. As the consumers, we control of how much money a company makes. Since Capcom is a game compnay, most of the buyers access the internet and hear the crud that goes down.

SO PLEASE NOTE MY IMPORTANT POINT BELOW IF YOU LIKE TO SKIP PARAGRAPHS

Personally, I couldn't care less if Viacom stays in business or not. I emphasize once again, that all I care about is that the privacy statements of websites stay true to their word, rather than get overturned by a federal judge.
