Occupy Wall St is about bringing attention to corporate control of government. The RIAA/MPAA influence on copyright legislation and enforcement is a specific example of that. So, the protests are in fact relevant. I know it has become popular in recent years to pooh-pooh the effectiveness of protests and to claim that they are obsolete 1960s nonsense. I don't know why anyone tries seriously to make that argument after the events of the last year. The protest is alive and well and as effective as ever. If your protest isn't accomplishing anything, it just needs to be bigger. Put a million people in the streets next weekend and politicians will notice. If that's not enough, put 10 million people on the streets. A large enough crowd is impossible to ignore.
