This will never work. Want people to boycott Hollyweird? It’s like asking everyone to give up their cell phone.

This will never work. Want people to boycott Hollyweird? It’s like asking everyone to give up their cell phone.

According to an earlier post the contracts being voided by LA are worth around $8 million. Hollywood box office sales in 2009 were over $10 billion. DVD Sales tack on an additional 9.8 billion. So if the boycott of Hollywood reduced sales by 0.04% it would be a net loss for LA. If a conservative boycott of Hollywood could drop their revenue by only one percent it would cost California $198 million dollars.

Is a state on the verge of default going to throw away that kind of money. California's impending fiscal disaster makes them much more vulnerable to boycotts than Arizona.
