I make video games, so I'm in exactly the same boat as musicians with respect to piracy. It sucks, sure. But it is not worth destroying the internet to try to fix it. I would rather go bankrupt than live in the world this bill is pushing us towards. A free and open internet is on track to do more to progress humanity than any other invention in history. Trying to derail it because musicians are finding it hard to sell CDs is selfish at best and borderline psychopathic at worst.

From everything I've seen, the Internet has made distribution, sales, and publicity of indie video games vastly easier than before. This is especially true with high-profile distribution channels like Steam and Humble Indie Bundle and others. The indie video game industry seems like an industry that really does get the internet and understands that it can be a powerful force for good rather than just a means for people to pirate your stuff.
