I normally would agree with you but taking your business elsewhere seems
a tad too extreme.  I tell you what... you keep your business at Records 
N'Such and instead of yelling at them that you don't like their business
policy, offer to help them with legal fees and retaining a lawyer.

They are not making a moral decision; they are making a business decision.
They may not be able to afford a lawyer or the problems associated with a
boycott with possible national implications.  If that's the way you wish
to play the game, boycott Blockbuster Video -- they won't carry NC-17 films.
Same reason.
