Comment This petition will do nothing. (Score 1) 25
I think that Harry Fox et al already know that quite a few people visited lyrics.ch. I think this is why they shut them down, because they saw this as an infringement of copyrights and a denial of revenue, or something. If it was some shitty little page, they wouldn't have noticed or cared.
Why do I bring this up? Because all this petition is really saying is, "I liked the lyrics server." They already know that people liked it through the statistics. They really don't care. It also says "I disagree with what you're doing," but Harry Fox isn't trying to be popular. Really, I hope that people who sign this petition are only doing so to show their support, not because they think that it will do anything.
Now, if there was some way of boycotting this group, something real could happen. But I'm not sure if this is actually possible.
