They've got quite a lot to lose if SOPA/PIPA passes; one would think they'd care...It could also be that they're trying to avoid raising their profile in case SOPA does actually pass and get signed. Or they're trying to avoid the fallout in forums about taking a stand either way.
Either that, or they really haven't actually noticed.
As for fallout in forums, one thing that I've been doing over at DAZ3D is taking note of the Published Artists there in the forum that have actually come down in full favor of SOPA passing. Only one so far, but that one has basically ensured I won't buy his products anytime soon... Seriously. If you can't handle that piracy is happening, then you really shouldn't be in business selling digital content in the first place. Because there's no stopping it without making it impossible to DO business selling digital content in the first place.
