I would rather kill and die than give up those rights
Well, if you don't live in the EU, it doesn't directly matter, other than in your ability to communicate with people in the EU.
If you live in the EU, then I suspect that talking to European political entities like the various Pirate parties, or to EDRi to try and get it legislatively-reverted is probably a step to take a little before killing and dying.
If you live in the EU and it doesn't get legislatively-reverted and you consider it to be totally unacceptable, well, there are a number of countries in the area that I imagine people can migrate to, like the UK or Switzerland or Norway. I'd probably look into that before the whole killing thing.
Soon there are European elections. Voting for the Pirate parties and getting other people to vote for them is a good way to stop this. They are fighting hard against this law. Especially Patrick Patrick Breyer of the German one. Anja Hirschel, who will follow him, will likely continue with the same vigor.
Donations are also a great way to support. Donate to the Pirates, EDRI, or local groups opposing this.
Pirate Party in Slovenia did not qualify for elections. They needed the support of 1.000 constituents, but when the officials did the count they only had 970 signatures.
What I'm saying is - your mileage my vary.
