People give the RIAA/MPAA power through financial means: purchases and so forth. This money is then used against the people in order to dictate law and etc... Therefore, unless people are willing to boycott movies at theaters and purchases of movies, they need to stop complaining.
Complaining without any action isn't going to accomplish anything. If you really want to hurt the RIAA/MPAA, get all your friends/relatives to boycott the movies being released in the theaters and from purchases through online/stores. If they continuously lost millions upon millions of actual dollars through alienating their viewers, they would be forced to change, or go out of business.
However, we all know that people aren't motivated enough, impassioned enough to stand up against injustice until it becomes intolerable, and by then, it will be too late. People lack the mentality to deprive themselves of something that they crave; they lack the resoluteness to engage and work as a group for a common good, lest it be something blown out of control.
Therefore, until people try to change the copyright laws on the books: Copyright laws being unconstitutional as it is as it violates the limited time clause in my book; copyright laws being unconstitutional as it is as it hinders progress of society for personal gains and halters growth; copyright laws being unconstitutional in the sense that they don't adhere to the original intent and purpose. Until the laws change, they will just escalate with new stipulations until it becomes a dictatorship law.
Moreover, unless people are willing to do more than talk, we are doomed to suffering the motivations of those that are willing to act upon their agendas. The RIAA/MPAA are acting upon theirs through money and trying to dictate law. What real actions is anyone doing to stop their beliefs from coming to fruition? Indeed.
People must not really have a concrete basis for their beliefs, if they aren't willing to do anything productive towards that end, besides complaining about it on online forums and hoping someone else does something to stop it.

3 The Seven Truths that every Christian should Know
The Seven Truths that every Christian should Know
1. Faith requires testaments and trails and tribulations: we will endure hardships/diversities as a challenge to our beliefs/faith.
2. Violation of God's Word isn't justified by imperfection: regardless of what imperfections we suffer from, we must repent for our sins; God's Word and His Laws requires it: we should also have enough respect to care whether or not we are sinning.
3. A solid foundation in God's Word is important in preserving God's Word: transitioning from growing up as a Christian to the “real world” is filled with testaments, trails and tribulations, and that requires our foundation to be strong/sturdy: without it, The Word of God gets stolen from us; we need to preserve and persevere our positive attributes throughout time: a daunting task, indeed.
4. God can't be blamed for the free wills of others: people will always sin, people will always exercise their freedoms for destructive purposes, and people will always blame God for these unfortunate effects; however, it's not God's fault for the works of others; people seem to forget that they love their freedoms without God interfering until something tragic happens.
5. We aren't for the World, therefore, we aren't apart of the World: The World is always going to try and prosecute us, we are always going to endure hardships for the Glory of God, we won't ever be accepted during this life, and we should be happy to endure all of this for Jesus' sake: just as Jesus has endured all of it for us. By following the Word of God, we aren't going to have perfect lives always full of contentment; we are going to have to endure going against the World and it's sins: Doing good doesn't mean that your the effects will not be full of difficulties.
6. The two greatest commandments which all of God's law hangs from:
Matthew 22:37-40
King James Version (KJV)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Christians often forget that Love is at the heart of God's Word/Law, and that we shouldn't allow hate to prosper/flourish within our souls/hearts; that by following these two commandments, we are fulfilling God's Law, and by going against it, we are violating his Word. Christians need to realize that we shouldn't nitpick people over the triviality of imperfection, but honor God's greater commandments always with all of our souls and minds. By doing this, we put forth good fruits that will flourish.
7. To represent God, not only through his Word, but also by becoming a living example of His Word/Testaments: Christians often forget that God's Word can't be forced/crammed down people's throats; that it's a personal decision that they have to make. Let's not push our beliefs unto people without ears to hear, or eyes to see: that's just futile. We can demonstrate the Truth of God's Word by becoming a living example and testament to it; this is far more effective, and far more Godly than trying to deprive others of freewill and choices: this is what we should strive for.

0 Being true to ourselves, quote
People in this world tries to appease everyone and be accepted, thereby losing what made them unique and intriguing in the first place; just like art, we are creations of ourselves: would you ever change a work of art that you loved, to accommodate what other people wants it to be: I would think not, for our art is made for ourselves, foremost.

0 Prayer for Guidance and Strength
Mold my heart into a diamond, that I should be strong
mold my soul into a sun, that I should be Godly
mold my mind into a dream, that I should know faith
mold all these into one, that I should be love and light
that I should be greater than the sum of one
Let my heart sparkle, like diamond and light
let the sun reign down upon me and take away the darkness, I fight
let my dreams be faithful and pure like the Word of God
and let me be that which I am, throughout it all
mold my soul into a sun, that I should be Godly
mold my mind into a dream, that I should know faith
mold all these into one, that I should be love and light
that I should be greater than the sum of one
Let my heart sparkle, like diamond and light
let the sun reign down upon me and take away the darkness, I fight
let my dreams be faithful and pure like the Word of God
and let me be that which I am, throughout it all

0 Law is becoming artificial, quote
Our law is becoming artificial, without a human heart or soul: it's driven by power, anymore, instead of good intentions.

0 Valentine's Day Poem
One moment, one second, one hour, one day
One heart, one kiss, one touch, one word to say
This Valentine's Day
yet, this love of ours falls at the speed of cherry blossoms
this finite affinity of our hearts to display
candy-coated expressions filled with saccharine obsessions
concealed within the brevity and guise of selfishness and heartfelt lies
One lie, one tease, one look, one sexual kink to please
One laugh, one cry, one teardrop rolling down from the eye
This Valentine's Day

1 Change for the good and bad, quote
Being resistant of good change is just as bad as being accepting of bad change.
