As I've said elsewhere, conservation of incompetence seems the likeliest explanation. The companies have better things to do, so no one in charge realizes that they're dues paying members of an organization that's advancing a truly moronic cause.
Until the press gets involved, then things get escalated and straightened back out.
Assuming that's in the neighborhood of truth, it highlights the importance of a press free from government and corporate interference.
SOPA is pretty egregious, and it looks like it could get everyone in a lot of trouble given the way someone can merely allege copyright infringement and get a site blacklisted.
Any company with a crucial web presence definitely does not have better things to than stop this bill from being passed.
