I've seen a lot of posts on tumblr, LJ, and DW on this, and thought maybe I should collect my thoughts a bit. Greedy big business aside, I believe the most appropriate summation I can think of is shit rains down. In this case, a media boycott would most likely hurt those with the least to gain from cooporate profits.
So:
Maybe buy from independent business, support independent artists not tied to the big labels, buy from your local bookstore/record store/etc?
Maybe support open source work?
Maybe support work created under creative commons licences?
These ideas aren't comprehensive or necessarily "good", but they seem more beneficial to me. Just a thought.
