That's what "boycott any ebook over $9.99" types never seem to grasp. If it's only about price, it's not a boycott. Just don't pay the price. Duh.

But this is a little different. If you object not just to the price, but to the control and collusion, the business model itself, then a little organization is required. You'd have have to know to boycott all books by those companies, even those that are priced really well, and let them know why.
Not a great deal of organization required, but at least it puts it marginally in the realm of what could rightfully be termed a boycott.
