Even coming from a stance of neutrality, the time to be political is when your existence is threatened.
The only reason why Wikipedia's existence might not be threatened by the bill is because they're just too popular. Those behind SOPA know that if they enforced it against a site like Wikipedia it would reveal it as the flawed piece of legislation it is. Instead they will nab smaller time websites for infringements because people won't care as much.
In a way, SOPA might be good for the Facebooks and the Wikipedias because they will never get shutdown, but their competitors might. I guess this is contradictory to my first sentence, but I don't believe in relying on "too big to fail" for existence.
