There's no point boycotting one company playing by the system rules. Boycott the system which enable this much centralisation of power and removes freedom from citizens.

Copyright and patents are an artifact of the government being easily corruptible by media companies who make insane amount of money.

Until we get rid of the government we'll always have laws which help the rich steal from the people.

This is a bad attitude - every system can be gamed - social/market pressure is an important mechanism for shaping outcomes.

Well, we certainly aren't getting rid of the government, and it's an up-cliff battle to change current copyright and patent laws, so the best we can do is starve the companies that abuse these systems. Then they will have less money to perform lobbying and other activities.
