Go Daddy Becomes Example in SOPA Backlash

This bill is an absolute POWER GRAB. It will allow the government to BREAK DNS, which is the backbone of the ENTIRE internet. The best part is, for the companies and shady government officials involved? They dont even need to PROVE that the website in question has done anything illegal...it just has to be ACCUSED of doing something illegal. This is NOTHING but greedy corporations and frightened government officials seeking to CENSOR the internet...Nothing more.

People voting with their dollars is the only voting that companies understand. Petition all you want, they don't care. Stop giving them money and they start paying attention.

I'm all for closing sites selling counterfeit goods, but "file sharing" is just too vague of a term to regulate and the government has too much power already.

before you back the bill you need to read it
and see what they call piracy
you wont be allowed to post a vid of your family if a radio is playing or your a pirate
tons of bad wording in the bill that calls about anything they want piracy
this bill doesnt stop piracy ...it allows companys to sue for what ever they want ...even stupid home videos that have 0 retail value and take nothing from the corp greedy grubs

No, it's not an "unfair boycotting."
Any company who does not directly and strongly oppose the SOPA bill, along with all of the E-PARASITE bills, might as well openly admit to being opposed to freedom of speech in all of its forms, and voice their desire to only have posted on the internet what they want posted.
These bills are draconian, plain and simple, and GoDaddy should be rebelled against for even minor support of the bill.

the thing that #$%$ me right off about SOPA is that corporations can lobby to have sites closed. there is no freedom of speech there. plus, the whole #$%$ bill is pretty vague about what constitutes piracy.

the bill is sponsored by music and movie executives in three piece suits, life in california is not plush enough for them.

If Go Daddy had a history of cautious investigation befor just blocking domains accused of wrongdoing I dont think theyed have nearly as many defections. But they blatantly came out and said they approve of the Government getting involved in internet issues. Thats just wrong thinking ....Bad move, they lose.

So if they pass the bill, how are they gonna put China in jail?

Network solutions was first. But they were too formal for most. Then came this idiot running go daddy, killing endangered elephants while on vacation, increasing sales by shaking #$%$ at the public, and now supporting censorship. It's sad that Kim Kardashian or a murder story has thousands of comment and this only a few. Just shows that most people don't know what is going on. Hope they realize before it's too late.

Oh, figuring out people are sick and tired of government oppression? Took 'em long enough.

Go Daddy sucks. Their support system sucks. They took advantage of their costumers. They cancel orders they wrongly place on your behalf and withdraw their service without giving your money back. I support a world wide boycott of Go Daddy

Go Daddy lacks good customer support. The technicians talk down on you and expect you to do everything. Their SSL support system sucks and doesn't give the customer the ability to quickly change its security code to adjust its domains. They promise you five websites (they count subnets with the same domains) and just give you one. They are too expensive and they don't have enough technical support for customers. They are an organization culture of me me me and their high paying employees are not making this any better. They market their products using strippers dressed in short..shorts. Glad they are failing

We the consumers need to go past Go Daddy and hit each of the politicians that support this bill with our votes and each of the companies that back it the same way we hit Go Daddy. Send them a strong message that we wont have the internet censored.

They will use all types of excuse just to promote CENSORSHIP; you can kiss your Constitution good-bye!

Wait, they can't have their cake and eat it too?

its much more sinister than that. The truth is the mega giants that are pushing this bill (CBS, Microsoft, Etc..) are the ones who pushed the piracy software on the market. Not only did they push it, they hosted it. Look it up.

SOPA sucks and their support for it is just indicative of how they run their business

BOYCOTT GO DADDY ! ! ! Let's show them they cannot support things that the people do not support... stop corporate America NOW.... they are only backpeddling because they did not want to lose their business... FIRE THEM NOW! We are close to a small victory and every victory counts. They are trying to stop the transfers and is VIOLATING ICANN RULES.... ICANN what is the fine for this???? Fine them, Fire them... now is the time to seize the bull by the rains and choke it to death!

SOPA...
Brought to you by the same kind of greedy tools who tried to make people pay a royalty every time they watch a movie that they already purchased.
The same kind of people who tried to make it a felony to record a TV show or song off the radio.
The same people who bundled spyware on "enhanced" CD's that would tell them if you tried to rip it.
The same people who introduced DRM protections that many CD players at the time couldn't read or only let the CD's be played in certain brands of CD player.

Oh sure, they sell it as providing the power to stop online piracy. But what about a few years down the road when say people from certain areas are blocked from seeing political opponents websites. Or say Google throws some money at their lobbyists to get approval to pull some wires and block access to Yahoo on networks it owns.
We're headed toward the same corrupted iron fist control of the internet in this country as is currently seen in Iran and China.
