Now these arrogant Bastards are claiming that they are not worried, their customer base is so deep that they most likely won't be affected by a small backlash. Oh really...

Dannica sweetheart, you'd better find a new corporate sponsor sweetheart, we are a whole new generation of informed consumers, who know how to make a definitive message...

Go Daddy’s SOPA Entanglement

By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols | December 25, 2011, 1:44pm PST

Summary: Go Daddy, the prominent Internet domain registry, is still supporting the Stop Online Piracy Act… sort of, kind of

Go Daddy and Congress got along well in 2005 in one of the company s trademark ads, it's another story in 2011 with SOPA.

Go Daddy and Congress in 2005 in one of the company's trademark ads,

It’s one thing for congresscritters who wouldn’t known an Internet Protocol (IP) address from a domain name to support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), it’s another thing entirely for a top Internet domain registry company like Go Daddy to support SOPA. I mean Internet companies may not know anything about the First Amendment—something like far too many Congressmen come to think of it–but Go Daddy should certainly know their Internet technologies and what their customers would think of Go Daddy fouling up their Internet.

What’s that? Newly appointed Go Daddy CEO Warren Adelman has yanked his company’s support for SOPA. Really? Look at what he said again. He started fine, “Go Daddy is no longer supporting SOPA, the ‘Stop Online Piracy Act’ currently working its way through U.S. Congress.”

But, then Adelman started to waffle, “Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation–but we can clearly do better. It’s very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it.”

So, what does he really mean? Adelman certainly isn’t repudiating SOPA. He just wants a badly crafted law to somehow be magically crafted into a good law. Yeah, like that’s going to happen.

In an interview with TechCrunch, Adelman makes it clear that Go Daddy isn’t so much rejecting SOPA as it is trying to duck out of the way of the fight between civil libertarians and the bought and paid for political hacks behind SOPA.

You can’t blame him for dodging the issue. On December 23rd, Go Daddy lost 21,000 domains. This is not the news you want when you’re new to the top job and you want to impress Go Daddy’s new owners.

I think I have a better idea though. Rather than try to dance around SOPA, just say you’ll have nothing more to do with it. Go Daddy can always support an intellectual property law in the future that doesn’t throw the baby of privacy and due process out with the bathwater of piracy. If they do that, then maybe the people pulling their domains out of Go Daddy won’t be so eager to leave the company behind. If Go Daddy doesn’t? Well, there are hundreds of domain registrants who would be happy to take Go Daddy’s business.

Godaddy relented. It's great proof that customer solidarity can bring a corporation to heel. Wouldn't it be great to do that to more errant corporations?

This was the point behind Taft-Hartley and making solidarity strikes illegal. It's high time to gut Taft-Hartley. It's US (us) against the corporations. How about the telecoms getting retroactive immunity? Goddddammnnnnnn

I totally agree.
yup, using our pocket book, as influence, to me, is perfect.
Non violent, non confrontational.
as simple as " we don't like what you do/who you are/what you make/ what you sell.....or whatever" and, we're not going to patronize you.
simple.

well, except for big oil, I suppose, since we won't dare live close to out jobs, and stuff like mass transit.

Right ygmir. That was the point of Rev. Billy getting involved in OWS. OWS needs to mass mobilize flash boycotts....that would be super. Make Billy the spiritual figure head of OWS if those kitty cats would only see the light....

that would be great.
but yeah, herding cats........dang.
It's gotta be big enough, with enough "economics" behind it, to hurt a company..........
23 hippies, on a corner yelling "boycott USG" won't get far.

I could see it, somehow, morphing to influence gov. too.

what if so many people, decided not to "accept" a particular law or ruling?......they can't jail "everyone"........
Taxes? Well........

The internet is how flash mobs mobilize....that needs to mature into "Flash Boycotts". It could be done. We have to acknowledge that thinking as individuals can only go so far, real effective action is community or group based. Corporations act as "groups" as collectives with a single purpose, let's use their own fucking model for a change.

agreed.
and, when it's a "good idea", there's usually enough broad based support, to make things happen.

[BlackRockCityPimp]

I expect SOPA to pass as I expected NDAA to pass.

If for some reason it doesnt I expect it will be modified and reintroduced as another bill.
