That is because you do not understand the way the world really is for the powerless.
Take the UK Coal miners, they were doing a terrible job, they did not control the industry.
They had radical beliefs of controlling the industry for the benefit of all.
When the government wanted to destroy the Coal Mining Industry they struck to defend it.
SOPA
There could be a radical solution where society /Internet take over the full funding and employment of the industries being destroyed by the free distribution of content. Like the BBC in the UK everyone pays a hundred or so dollars a year and for that you get TV channels, news, music and news free at the point of consumption.
but if the Internet is not going to pay up but just steal, then workers will defend their jobs, and will support their bosses in defending their industries.
Communists see a great possibility of free information and culture for all, but the workers who produce it have to be paid. That is why if the Goggles of this world don't like SOPA, the ball is in their court on how the creative industries should be funded.
Not such an idealistic wonderful technology if it is destroying your job and art.
Why have the Internet companies come up with a better plan?
Because they want to continue to make money on other people content and work?
