Voting for a GUE/NGL or G/EFA party might be your best bet. Or EFDD, assuming they still exist
Since the intra-group differences are pretty big, it is smarter to look at the voting behavior of one's own national party rather than the group as a whole.

Also, some of us will be affected by this, even without having a "national" party we can actually vote for.
I assume you're referring to people in Switzerland and maybe Norway. This is the result of agreements that your governments have regrettably (for you) struck with the EU. In national elections you can still vote for parties that oppose further European integration and at best even support the dismantlement of existing agreements.

It's in no small part thanks to the "have cake and eat it" attitude of those sorts of parties that we're in the situation we're in.

I mean, the logical thing would be to have a say in the decisions that affect us, not to try and pretend we can bring back a world where they don't
So if Switzerland were in the EU, you could vote for the Greens in the EP election and... then what? You'd be just as screwed with this copyright nonsense as the rest of us.
