Probably the fact that they have expressed concern for small business in America.

The reason "that it would cause problems for American small business" is of course rubbish. They aren't concerned about small business in America, or anywhere else. It was, after all, small American businesses that were making money from having a presence on Megaupload, small businesses in the form of independent artists, who didn't want to go through the RIAAs gatekeepers,, and pay their toll, and instead were making a decent living from people downloading from Megaupload.

If you want these bills killed, I have the solution. Convince OPEN's supporters to include amendments to the DMCA, permanently exempting personal backups, ripping for interoperability with multimedia networks in the home, and exemptions from patent prosecution for noncommercial open source software. That'll put the MPAA/RIAA's efforts squarely behind killing the measure.
