I think we should use the net for actions, which has the potential for far
greater impact than people on the street.

What about picking a day when we all send emails (or hundreds of emails) to
government departments, politicians the media etc protesting about the
legislation. Perhaps the emails could include some pornography for greater
effect.

It would need to be some form of protest which caused outrage in the press
and from the government.

If you participated in this, your ISP would probably take you offline, so
another account somewhere would be a help (this is not a bad idea anyway)
