Don't want to have to sit through an annoying FACT message every time you watch a legitimately-bought DVD? Don't want to watch threatening messages when you go to the cinema? Annoyed by FACT and want to do something about it?
Come join the conversation at FACT Off! and let's see what we can do about it.
Personally, I don't believe that the tactics being employed by FACT benefit consumers. In fact, they work to alienate legitimate customers and may even force them to embrace pirated media which at least doesn't threaten and harass them. Personally, I see nothing wrong with wanting to protect your copyright but I find FACT's tactics to be completely unacceptable.
It's time we communicated our displeasure to FACT and other bodies and did something about it.
Do you feel the same? Then come lend your support to FACT Off!
I just saw this on Adriana's blog and had to reproduce it here. I love that poster.
There’s nothing I hate more than sitting down for a film at a cinema only to have that horrendous F.A.C.T. screen come up to threaten me about what could happen to me if I take a photograph or record the film. Thank you for threatening me right after I’ve bought a ticket and sat down to watch a film and RE-FUCKIN’-LAX for goodness’ sake!
If you read my blog, you probably know that I don’t like being threatened. In fact, you may say that I’m somewhat allergic to it. That’s why I’ve developed somewhat of a chronic rash against the MPAA, RIAA, and recently, the BBC
In fact, here’s an idea: Let’s organize a single day where we all go to the same movie and take a photo (with flash, of course) of the F.A.C.T screen at the start of the movie and post it as a protest on Flickr? Why not organize this as a national event with meet-ups at cinemas all over the country? We can call it Finger F.A.C.T. day. Or F.A.C.T. off! I like F.A.C.T. off! In fact, I just registered factoff.org. Let’s do it!
Who’s with me?
