"I think maybe better time would be spent getting to the root of the problem: corporations are allowed too much power to monopolize and are not held responsible for their dirty deeds. "
Agree completely. Big business has been given a free hand for the last 8 years.
"And you can't solve that by boycotting a free website."
That's the crux of the problem: it's not actually free (nothing is). Someone is paying for all those MySpace ads, and that cost eventually trickles down to you, while the money trickles up to Murdoch. That's how capitalism works.
And if ENOUGH people boycott ENOUGH things for long ENOUGH, yes the city, state, country, world could be changed. But that rarely happens.
