There's an easy way to protest the MPAA. Tell your friends and neighbours; they're called Torrents.

If you want to rationalize your piracy, awesome, but torrenting isn't going to compare to actual protest of an issue.

If you're passionate about SOPA, tell people; write a blog post; write to a congressman. Slacktivism needs to go away.

If you really hate MPAA, do not do any business with them. No more "going to watch the movies". But thats more further most people can go.

I completely agree -- I'm just saying civic engagement is always possible, if not easy.
