I know there are blackouts, and boycotts of other SOPA supporters, but I would love it if there were a significant boycotting of the going to the movies and purchasing dvds/blurays.
I know it's unlikely, but this organization could use a reminder we're not just political opposition, we're part of their customer base.
That's a double-edged sword. If a significant portion of the population adamantly boycotted any particular industry, their response would be to claim piracy as the cause and use it as ammunition for their argument.
It's nearly impossible to win an argument when one side is so willing to not only lie, but engineer those lies to manipulate a population that doesn't know any better (including the folks making decisions on behalf of that population).
Well that may just play into their hands instead, as they (the MPAA etc) would be able to go "look, sales are down, see how much damage these foreign pirates are doing to our companies!".
Currently the statistics say otherwise, but good luck getting anyone in a place of power to acknowledge them.
Most non-US based movie industries? MPAA is composed of just six studios:
MPAA’s members are the six major U.S. motion picture studios
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Paramount Pictures Corporation
Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc.
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
Universal City Studios LLC
Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
Making good music can be done by a few sufficiently talented people in a garage, and good enough microphones to record that aren't that expensive. Making good movies requires hundreds of people to cooperate, a huge time commitment, and equipment (cameras, film, lighting, sound, editing software/hardware, actors(!), et cetera). There is the indie movie industry, and it can certainly be done for significantly less than what Hollywood spends on feature films, but making a good movie is still significantly harder than making a good song.
Your best bet for MPAA-less movies are non-US movies and independent movies. However, I don't think indie movies will ever become as widespread as indie music.
