I stopped watching Hollywood. I don't even pirate it any more. I just don't care about that kind of propaganda.
If you are a musician and you don't have your own distribution gig I'm not listening to your music, especially if you have anything to do with Sony EMI Warner etc.

Most of the money goes to the big wigs and the lawyers not to the artist.

I've seen it happen in video games but I'm not sure about other media. Lots of people have been turned off of franchises like Assassin's Creed because of terrible business practices by Ubisoft, mostly their DRM and anti-piracy measures. I think the same thing happened with Diablo 3.
I think it depends on how the copyright holders fuck up and the scale to which they do it. Mostly it's personal actions, not business practices, that seem to put people off.
