Exactly, Republicans' strongest constituency (rich white guys[1]) don't care all that much, if at all, about details of copyrights, something that costs their households a few hundred dollars a year at most. On the other hand, people who care either already lean libertarian enough to vote red, or will never, ever even consider voting for a Republican.
A senator will get more votes going door to door than by pushing through any reform like that.
