What I am trying to get you to understand is that I am also free to petition for the laws to change.

I am dictating that you have to release it under terms that are fair or not at all. I'm not saying anything about giving it away. For example if somebody sold an album under the condition that they can take it away from me for any reason with no compensation, I think that's unfair, and the police should stop them from doing it. Writing something into a contract does not magically make it acceptable behaviour!

You haven't actually said why, the only argument you've given is a kind of defeatist "legal changes never achieve anything". That's historically wrong. Stop Killing Games is actually not asking for very much at all, it's not like they're forcing all (any) games to release their source code. It's much more likely that if the law passed they would just come up with a sunset plan.
