We can try. Can't we?

Let's put our energies to better use. Let's start with posting some really convincing (well written) articles that would sway most law abiding citizens to cease stealing music and/or movies.

This way we can start spreading it around thru facebook and twitter and anywhere possible.

Maybe even start our own anti-piracy group.

Start a petition. Something positive that can actually accomplish something.

Thoughts?
I think some public service type of ads might help. You know, sad shots of a studio shutting down, some struggling musician with a young child going broke, someone getting cut from a label, pawning their instruments to make rent... that sort of thing. I think it would help.
