Anonymous: Operation Black March Begins!.

Join the Protest!

TRANSCRIPT: Hello People of the World, We are Anonymous.

Operation Black March has Begun! Join the protest!

If you do not know of Operation Black March, I will explain.

With the continuing campaigns for Internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites such as Megaupload under allegations of 'piracy' and 'conspiracy' the time has come to take a stand against music, film and media companies' lobbyists.

The only way is ot hit them where it truly hurts.

Their profit margins.

March 2012 is the end of the 1st quarter in economic reports worldwide.

Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally.
Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy.
Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a video game. Do not buy a single book or magazine.

Wait the 4 weeks to buy them in April: see the film later, etc. Holding out for just 4 weeks, maximum, this will leave a gaping hole in media and entertainment companies' profits for the 1st and shares will blip from the large enough loss of incomes.

This action can give a statement of intent:

"We will not tolerate the Media Industries' lobbying for legislation which will censor the internet."

MAIN ST. NEWS: R.I.P - "Ralph Angus McQuarrie"

R.I.P. Ralph McQuarrie, the man who designed Darth Vader

Ralph Angus McQuarrie (June 13, 1929 – March 3, 2012) was an American conceptual designer and illustrator who designed the original Star Wars trilogy, the original Battlestar Galactica TV series, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Cocoon, for which he won an Academy Award.

McQuarrie was born Ralph Angus McQuarrie on June 13, 1929 in Gary, Indiana and was raised on a farm near Billings, Montana. He served in the United States Army during the Korean War, surviving a shot to the head.

After returning from the war, McQuarrie moved to California in the 1960s, studying at the Art Center School, then in downtown Los Angeles.

Initially he worked for a dentistry firm, drawing teeth and equipment, before working as a technical illustrator for Boeing, as well designing film posters and animating CBS News's coverage of the Apollo space program at the three-man company Reel Three. While there, McQuarrie was asked by Hal Barwood to produce some illustrations for a film project he and Matthew Robbins were starting.
