What about just printing out flyers and placing them in the blu-ray racks, rather than sticking stickers directly to the boxes? That's not vandalism, as it's not directly marring the packaging?
Yeah this is semi-more legit, make up a one or half page info packet and ask people to hand it out in front of stores selling the product. But stores can claim these people are a nuisance and move you farther and farther away.
If you've heard of the 'Yes Men' (http://theyesmen.org/), a stunt they did last fall involved handing out during the day a post card which claimed "with this card you could get a free 'Conflict Free iSomething' Go to the NYC Apple store at 6pm to collect". What they did at 6pm was have a slew of people ready with hand outs which discussed the exploitive methods involved in the production of the Apple devices.

Having an easy to remember website location would be nice, but if a link goes viral, that won't matter. We can also just start writing out the basic text of why this matters and what the campaign's goals are.
