HD owns property that gets traded on the internet , their service and parts manuals . therefore it is in their interest to support legislation that attempts to stop piracy .

i can see their point . if i made money selling books or music or movies etc. i'd be ticked off that people were downloading it for free .
is this really a censorship issue , or is it a pay for information instead of getting it free issue ?

It is a censorship issue. Explain to me why the big tech companies are coming out against SOPA/PIPA. Giants like, Google, ebay, paypal, yahoo.

Plus you set precedent against free speech.

Protecting IP is one thing, censoring the net and free speech along with it is a nother entirely.

When will you limited intellects understand the fact that the Canadian and European dealers requested that HD uphold their own franchise contracts.

HD has no choice but to adhere to those contracts.

China, Iran and North Korea all censor the information that can be accessed via internet. Is this the direction the USA wants to follow?
