You could be part of the group that is against it and still profit from it. I'm not personally for SOPA but lets imagine a hypothetical indie developer that is against SOPA, image their DRM-free game is on the same sites as Vivendi Universal, Vivendi takes down the site using SOPA and more people buy the game. They're against SOPA but have profited from it.

Until Vivendi releases their new AAA title which is similar to the Indie game. Then they will have the indie game developer site removed/blocked in order to ensure that people only buy their AAA title. Remember: you don't need courts, nor even proof to have an inconvenient site removed under SOPA. As a person living in Switzerland which recently came out in strong opposition of any Internet blocking, I don't care that much about SOPA - the only thing it will do is give Europe and other countries a huge competitive advantage because sites with user generated content will have to move here. I'm still holding my breath for you guys though and hope that this idiotic law doesn't pass.
