Unfortunately people will still be bombarded with coverage of it from everywhere else, so probably a futile gesture.
We may not be able to get photos of the glamorous sporting events to illustrate our articles, but there are plenty of associated events that ought to be documented which the IOC can't prevent you from photographing and freely licensing: transport gridlock, surface-to-air missiles on rooftops, soldiers drafted in to cover security etc etc. ;)

It's time to black out coverage of the olympics.
This would be a blackout that could actually make a difference.

Would it make sense to start a more thorough long term lobby on this issue? Considering that this will be a returning issue every two years, I guess that would be worth the trouble...
