I've emailed a few MEPs about this. It seems that UKIP are already voting against it (but maybe because it's linked to the French rather than because they're against 3-strikes). One of the pro-3-strikes report-leaders is West Midlands Tory MEP Malcolm Harbour, who I think I remember from swpat. As I understand it, other than the named MEPs on LaQuadrature.net, it's important to ask the Greens to actually vote (they're mostly convinced I think), try to persuade the LibDems and Labour to vote against, and try to get the Conservatives to pressure Harbour. Why is a UK Tory looking such an pro-American entrenched-industry proxy?
