Speaking as one of the people trying to track statistics for my sites, I'd really rather you didn't do this, actually.
Referrer data is one of the most valuable ways for any webmaster - even the, you know, not evil ones - to learn about what's going on with their site, who's linking to it, and so on. For BloodSpell, it would be absolutely crippling not to be able to tell where our hits were coming from, and would mean I couldn't easily respond to blogs mentioning the film, couldn't correct errors (like people saying I'm not using Creative Commons correctly), and generally couldn't manage my website.
It's going to be a real pain in the arse trying to figure out why people are viewing my websites and where they came from without referrer data. So unless people have a *really* strong need to turn this off, I'd kinda plead with them not to.
