In the opinion of the RIAA/MPAA they are. I think that's not necessarily true because many of them are still buying media, just not all of the possible media that interests them.

They're probably still going to the movies, renting or buying DVDs (redbox, Amazon/iTunes, Netflix), listening to music on the radio, buying CDs, paying for cable, etc. A total boycott would be difficult - basically no music, TV, or movies unless they were independently distributed.

Personally, I already mostly do this. Pandora on my way to work is an exception.
