lol..boycott the advertisers?  

thats going a step too far and would never gain traction.
lets just boycott newsweek.
Someone doesn't understand capitalism...

I understand it just fine.  But  serious bitcoin community is small and people that are mad about Dorian is even smaller.  And people that are willing to actually boycott for this , smaller still... You're gonna ask them not to do business with 50 companies ? Ok...not gonna debate.  
50 companies out of 500,000+?

Doesn't strike me as impossible, friend.

Yes, I utterly agree with this post. It's like Russia are not allowed invade Ukraine, Newsweek couldn't have disturb the privacy of Dorian or Satoshi

Their magazine has been out of print for over a year, so I doubt too many people subscribe to their service.  I think most people get their news online for "free" and that most of that "free" news is funded with advertising.

Boycott Newsweek?

But i sorta do that already anyway.

It's the advertisers that I'm boycotting.  I'll change the title of the OP from "Boycott Newsweek" to "Boycott Newsweek's Advertisers".

the newsweek, wanted to find the most biggest story in the world to kick start their newspaper, back into print.

... first story they print, leaves their reputation in pieces. no physical evidence, just opinions and hearsay from a reporter.

i would truly love to hear a soundbyte or a video recording of the quotes that leah says he said.

... oh wait there is none. just her word as a journalist with a history of lying

how did they invade his privacy ?
Really?
I for one would not like the whereabouts of my house known.

Watch out, your house is already visible from the side-walk and most likely the road that runs by it.
Your house is already on google maps and any other geo-surveillance site, too.

The big brother is already watching you.

I agree, Newsweek showed they are very irresponsable.  Shame on them.  Boycott them, great idea.

Maybe Newsweek is trying to save themselves from dying?  Grotesque way of doing so however.  Even if it WERE to be the "real Satoshi".

You read Newsweak?  Isn't that your parent's or grandparent's magazine?

Not routinely, but I did read the article on Dorian Nakamoto.  AFAIK, my parents and grandparents don't read / never read it routinely either.
