Yes, I read about this a couple of days ago. Its really sad to see that such a horrible law can be suggested.

I really hope you can get this law stopped. Unfortunately I think you need to do a bit more than just change avatars.

Online banners appears to be quite tame a response

You should organize protests in front of FNAC (or whatever the sponsors of that movement are)
AND get in contact with artists that support the Pirate Party or oppose the repressive law. It is important for artists to make a living, so such a contact could both increase our own understanding of options and alternatives that would allow artists to get revenues (concert, lectures, special edition media, collector items) and for the public to see that artists can also be against Internet Repression

In fact its worth putting in a thread of its own

La campagne de baniere internet me parrait un peu timide (sans en savoir d'avantage) si elle se limite au net, il pourrait etre utile de considerer des manifestations avec pamphlets de sensibilisation aux abords des supporteurs de cette legislation (FNAC?) et ou d'avoir un ruban noir physique a porter. On doit aussi mieux connaitre le point de vue des artistes contre cette repression internet pour mieu comprendre nous meme et mieu expliquer a la population qui risque de croire que les artistes ne pourraient plus subvenir a leur besoins
