If the law passes... (Score 3, Interesting)

I will cease buying cd's, dvd's, films and more, just to stop the companies that support this law being passed from taking my money.

I have always used the p2p progs to download music and then buying it if i like it, deleting it if i don't like it. I've watched movies at home to see if they're worth paying the $10 they charge at the cinemas (and yes, it's still worth going to the cinema after watching it at home since it a whole different thing on the big screen). P2p progs are also a great way of finding a new movie/series to buy on dvd when browsing a persons share, this other night i saw Kindred: The Embraced on some guys share and just had to order it.

Anyways, i've prepared a little example of how much the industry would lose per year just because i stopped buying the stuff they claim to lose money from cause of pirates.

Note, these are not exact prices since pricing differs alot from store to store, specially on the VHS

Cd's, 18 - $414
DvD movies and series 15 - $650
VHS movies 30 - $360

Makes for a total of $1424 per year spent only on entertainment at home.

I'd like to see the catastrophic downfall in revenues to the companies involved if more people would do just like me.
