I take back that first part. Even the bankers were wise enough to quit doing some of the stupid shit they were doing. They just wanted free money for their stupidity. What the RIAA and MPAA are trying to do is even worse when you think about it. I wonder if we'll ever see Occupy Hollywood. Somehow I doubt it.

Funny you bring that up!

Occupy Hollywood

Then there's pure out-and-out civil disobediance should SOPA pass (from the Reddit thread):

Another Idea for SOPA, if it manages to pass:

The way the bill is written, anyone can make a copyright claim about any website, and then prior to arbitration, the site is blocked. So claim against WB. And the MPAA. And Whitehouse.gov. And ATT. And Verison. And Comcast. And Fox. Make a claim against every legitimate website you can find. The law would reveal itself to be utterly useless in actually preventing piracy if the office is overloaded with claims against large corporate websites. And while the big corporations rally up their lawyers and wring their hands and pull their hair in frustration, Congress will be forced to either take down the internet entirely (read: call down the wrath of EVERYONE) or change the law in such a way that it actually deals with copyright claims legitimately instead of being an easy tool for censorship.

Though granted, this would require concerted effort. But good civil disobedience generally does.
