Several Reasons.. One is that out of protest many of us won't say the name...
As another, it's a legal side-step. I might be talking about "FIX" or "Fire Fight Xtreme" ;)
But it's Mostly protest I guess.

They see it right here.. they hit ALL the fansites on the first few pages of Google on a regular basis... they have a whole department for it.. their Other IT people do it also while they aren't doing anything else.
...yeah, looks like they are holding fast to the rights to FireFly.. they rent them out from time to time, but it's just free money to them, and they don't seem to be getting any serious offers from anyone to pick up the rights right now.
They have to include their costs of advertising (Even though they bungled it), production and marketing costs, etc, into any sale, so until it starts costing them money to own the rights, then they aren't motived to sell at a lower price.

You're new here and there's a lot of background info on Firefly and Serenity you'll need to catch up on. The more you understand about the studios and how things work, the better you'll be able to know how to direct your energies to bringing back Firefly/Serenity.
FYI: I'm using both words together, "Firefly/Serenity", as an overall reference. Legalilties being what they are, 20th Century Fox may not allow the name "Firefly" to be used, if the show takes the form of a series, or mini-series, should Universal be the one to continue the 'Verse on TV. But we can't be sure, so referring to both "Firefly/Serenity" together covers the bases.

Dealing with studios in such an aggressive, annoying, and possibly subject to police intervention, way is most definitely NOT the way to go. It puts our fandom in a bad, scary, light and makes Firefly look like it appeals to off-mainstream, cult like fanatics. Studios are not motivated to get involved in a production associated with that kind of negativity.
Experienced fans have already posted to you about how ill-advised a protest idea is, yet you persist. Take the advice of experienced fans and use it to guide your ideas in a better, more positive direction.
