If you don't want to see something go bankrupt, donate an extra few dollars to help support them. I'm sure if the company suddenly started receiving letters filled with donations, they would surely survive their current situation.
I was trying to make him feel bad about it, and realize why he should feel bad about it. Punishing someone for doing wrong is much more effective than trying to 'persuade' them, especially on the internet. Most of the time they won't change anyway, so at least you can piss them off.

Also, I don't like fixing problems others have caused; that's their responsibility. I don't clean up after people. I will point out the error of their ways and let their own shame get them to fix the problem.
