The only way I see that happen is having the tools and ability to pirate any and all media like we had back in the napster days. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen these companies scared. A petition I don’t think will do much. Plus not only is there this issue. There is also the issue of groups now targeting the way funding works like on steam. Payment processes are now being used to apply pressure where certain groups do not like the content.
We don’t want them to sweat, we just want them to do the right thing by their customers

This isn’t just any regular change.org petition, that can be ignored. It’s an official partition based on EU rules, where EU parliament is forced by law to listen to the initiators and talk about the topic, when it passes.

Ok but is there any group or lobbyists who are advocating or will this just be a petition sent to them which they can just ignore.

The European Parliament legally cannot ignore it.

These two things overlap under capitalism, as doing right by your customers is only required if not doing right by your customers affects your profits.
We definitely want them to sweat.
