Google, Facebook and Twitter monetize pure traffic and do not make a distinction about whether the traffic is lawful or not.
Think of a stream of people moving in and out of a retail store secretly making free copies of the products inside without purchasing the originals, while Google or FaceBook get paid per person passing by.
If you were earning fees on the stream of traffic through the shop would you care if the store owner was getting ripped off?
That’s why Google and FaceBook and Twitter are in opposition to SOPA.
They would be required by law to care.
