Well...if I were one of those sites, and I really believed that SOPA was an existential threat--which I think is a very reasonable position for any of those sites--then a day's loss of revenue is absolutely worth it, because the alternative is no, or greatly reduced, revenue. I'd take a known loss of ~1/365th (~.3%) of revenues over a probable loss of 100% of revenues any day of the week.
