I like your picbut this 'campaign' seems to me to equate to: don't buy product A, buy product B.

Well we won't succeed in getting people not to buy product A, so the only other way to take the smile off his smugcake-hole is to buy product B.

Are you saying people are doing this primarily to piss off Simon Cowell?I don't think that's going to be very effective. I suspect he rather likes publicity. Just a guess.

X factor is music for people who aren't really that bothered about music.There's always been a huge market for those people and there always will be. In the past it was served by the record companies, now it's served by X factor and the like. When that's gone, there'll be some other conduit.

Also I'm pretty sure he's a stakeholder in the company that publishes the Rage Against The Machine song.He'll make money from it either way.

That 'power' is enforced by this campaign.It affirms and institutionalizes it.
Honestly, I don't reckon he gives a flying fuck either way. He's a businessman, and business is booming.

I suspectThat Cowell probably has a financial interest in RATM's record company and is raking off a fat profit from both sides.

I'm personally not angry about it, because I don't care at all.I don't see though how it's any different being a sheep buying product A, or being a sheep buying product B. In both cases there's a huge media campaign to induce you to buy the product. And that's all advertizing is. I doesn't really matter what inducement is used ('moral', financial, etc.), the intention is to make you buy the product.
