Default HD Supports SOPA, WTF !!!

So the Big Tough MoCo doesn't want dealers selling on ebay or outside of the US. Now they're jumping on the band wagon to increase government control of the internet. It's all about the $$$ What happened to HD representing freedom ???

I guess freedom is only good when it's profitable and convenient for their own interests.

Pretty sure all they've ever cared about was making money. That whole freedom routine was just a good play by advertising to get people in the dealerships. In my opinion it's the people on the bikes that represent freedom and you can have that no matter what brand you're riding.

Uhm...SOPA was put on the shelf already...it's behind us. So if you're claiming anyone is supporting SOPA right now...dunno why they would support something dead.

I forgot to paste the links the first time. The bill was dead, but then got re-written and re-introduced.

Not so much...

Wikipedia's English site is blacking out for 24 hours starting later tonight...

To: English Wikipedia Readers and Community
From: Sue Gardner, Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director
Date: January 16, 2012

Today, the Wikipedia community announced its decision to black out the English-language Wikipedia for 24 hours, worldwide, beginning at 05:00 UTC on Wednesday, January 18 (you can read the statement from the Wikimedia Foundation here). The blackout is a protest against proposed legislation in the United States – the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate – that, if passed, would seriously damage the free and open Internet, including Wikipedia.
Whole article:

How can anyone, any business based out of the USA support blatant censorship.
