Es básicamente No compres(dvds, blurays, musica, libros, comics, revistas, mangas?, juegos, consolas), no vayas al cine(este es muy importante), y no bajes de internet nada de esto tampoco ya sea pagado o no.
la idea es dejarlos sin dinero por un mes para hacerles notar el poder de las personas individuales sobre las compañias, ellos creen que el poder lo tiene ellos y quieren quitarnos el poder de expresarnos y quitarnos el internet, bueno nosotros le quitamos su dinero por un mes para que vean que se siente.lo que quieran comprar lo compran en febrero o en abril, pero nada en marzo OK!!

......who feels the need to take a break from an increasingly dysfunctional relationship.

Edited to add my own thoughts (not part of the original reddit call for action): And if you do not feel like taking a total break and perhaps want just a trial separation or couple's counseling, then perhaps consider Black March Lite 2.0 = spend, but spend money on those content creators and independent retailers who came out against SOPA/PIPA. And tell them why you're buying their products in March. There are many of them.

Black March - Thursday March 1st 2012 to Saturday March 31st 2012
With the continuing campaigns for internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites like 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 to hit them where it hurts.
Their profit margins.
March 2012 is the end of the First Quarter in economic reports world wide.
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 videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine.
Wait the four weeks to buy them in April: see a film later, etc... Holding out for just four weeks, maximum, will leave a gaping hole in media companies profits for the first quarter, an economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments world wide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes. This action will give a statement of intent:
"We will not tolerate the Media Industries' lobbying for legislation that will censor the internet."
