Companies are supporting the legislation in hopes of helping their bottom line.
Although, I do not see any harm behind the idea of improving your balance sheet. However I feel very strongly that SOPA will do more harm than good. My main concern is - SOPA has potential to change the fundamental way we interact with the Internet. Many have pointed out that, the change will put constrain on how we build and use the internet. This might have a negative impact. If it happens it will impact the companies also. The long tail will be threatened if not vanished and that will impact the bottom line one day.
