Matt,

If Google had shut down, there would have been shareholder lawsuits even if the board had agreed to the action. It was easier for them to put the "black band" and educate the people about SOPA/PIPA

Wikipedia could shut down because it is a not for profit, and no shareholder lawsuits to contend with.
