Disclaimer: I'm from the EU myself. Like a lot of commenters are saying, these blog posts are nice, but they won't change the minds of the legislators. The legislators, in their apparent naivety, are living in a dream world where they expect today's volunteer developers to take on real and unfair legal risk for their contributions. That's why I think open-source projects ought to make a real statement and ban EU downloads of their software. This will catch the legislators' attention. Making the lives of whoever is using the software (practically everyone) difficult will get the point across and force change. This has nothing to do with discriminating against who _contributes_ to the software, which is of course a bullshit thing to do.
