So go ahead, sign the petition. Make your voice "heard". Google's not going to reverse direction.

Wasn't the Stop SOPA petition part of successful campaign to get the U.S. government to back off (at least for now)?
I also did a Google search for successful petitions and they do exits. Not that I had heard of any of the issue but for the people who signed the petitions, they won.
I do agree that Google probably won't back down but they might delay the closure to give devs more time to come up with better solutions (or hopefully go open source).
