The Republican platform is well known to be pro-business which means they will likely uphold, reinforce and supplement the current pro-business copyright law already in existance. This isn't a bash on Repubs, or a way to say Dems are better, just plain modern politics.
I think it's more likely that he got pressured by fellow republicans to steer more towards the "party line" when he flip-flopped.
If you want to help bring him down (and don't live in Utah) then bring out the truth. SHOW the people of Utah that he is undeserving of the office he holds. Flood your own Senetors with e-mail asking them to not let his proposal go through. It's obvious to us that he doesn't have a clue about what he is doing in this case. He is just following orders from the RIAA and MPAA. The only way to win and make a point is to get the people of Utah to vote him out and your own Senetors to not vote for anything he does.
(Sen. Hatch is the reason why I am ashamed to admit I'm a Republican - Prez Bush doesn't help much either)
P2P is a civilian right, if I want to give or share, that is my right.
Bye Bye, Hatch!
