Did you even read Goemar's link? It only affects peer-to-peer sharing (i.e. torrents), and even then there are ways to avoid them snooping in (proxies, etc). Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with it, it's preventing people from downloading illegal torrents (including those who might not even know it's illegal), I don't see how that'll screw us. And if you get your ROMs and ISOs to rip sprites/models/sounds/textures from via torrents, there are plenty of sites that host them online anyway.
That's not to say the petition is a bad idea or anything, this could surely be a problem for some people, I just don't think it's a huge deal. This is like the Megaupload thing, people were screaming their heads off about it but nobody cares now. It'll probably be the same here.
From what I can tell, at least.
