I concur with that. I wouldn't take up a referendum against a half-bad law. There should be done something, but in my opinion the whole law should be completely rewritten at a later date, and probably the WIPO-treaty itself should be repelled (or changed completely at WIPO-level). It's apalling how the so-called "economical liberal" are not in fact opening up markets for free trade but instead are plastering the whole world with laws for more gouvernement-granted monopolies.
