Now they are forcing you to use a subscription model like Safari where you have to be online or force you to use DRM enabled e-book stores like Amazon.
So if the customers just stop buying O'Reilly books/e-books altogether I would define that as a 'boycotting'.

I see you edited your first post to make the boycott clear. Thank you. Now it makes sense.
