Viacom want what?

Now I'm really angry:

and

Just what do they think they are doing? This is a clear case of a pathetic special interest group pissing all over our right to privacy regardless of any evidence of a crime having been committed.

Standing up to Big Business is hard because they have a lot of money to piss away, so in the Zen book of war the first step is to turn the Big Company into a small company. Boycott away....

Viacom own:

Film: Viacom International, Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks, Republic Pictures, MTV Films, Nickelodeon Movies, Go Fish Pictures

Television: Comedy Central, Logo, BET, Spike, TV Land, Nick at Nite, Nickelodeon, Noggin, The N, Nick Jr TEENick, MTV, VH1, MTV2, CMT, MHD

I've removed Xfire already, and I'm buggered if I'm watching any of their channels or film releases any time soon.

Viacom - screw you.
