Concomitantly, inform those you don't patronize that you aren't doing so, and tell them why not.

If you can't find an email contact address, use snail mail. An actual printed letter on paper can have impact email can't, and a letter to the CEO of a publisher stating you refuse to buy electronic editions saddled with DRM and absurdly priced may provide a wake up call.
