This process can actually work. Look no further than Starforce for an example of that. Plenty of folks wanted absolutely nothing to do with that infamous piece of "copyright protection" software, and they got together, put up a list of games which used Starforce, and told anyone and everyone who would listen not to buy games using it.

Guess what? Their efforts are having an effect. Ubisoft, formerly a big user of Starforce, just announced recently they are dropping use of it. A couple of other gaming companies have done the same.

So, if you get enough motivated folks together, and who clearly mark out their plan of attack, they can indeed achieve worthwhile results.
