Since this is such a limited boycott (ok maybe not THAT limited, but we do have the tech gap to deal with.) Those savvy enough to care, will just download the artists music for nothing. And feel little or no compulsion to get some miniscule revenue into an artists pocket.
So far... Bjork, DMB, Chili peppers, U2, Rage and a few other favorites are now on my blacklist (until such time as they break from the RIAA)
Thumbs up to bad religion..... umm... that's about all I found for my tastes anyways.

It's just nice to know how many of your CD purchases are funding the RIAA which then funds Congress which then passes those lovely laws.
Actually to be honest the RIAA isn't quite as scary as the MPAA when it comes to these things
