Of course godaddy would retracted their support. Why the fuck should they care about getting on board with this bullshit agenda if the MPAA isn't paying them a dime. If they didn't retract it, I would have assumed they were getting money directly from this lobbying group.
Last I heard, which has been about 2 days now, 70,000+ domains had left godaddy. That is an enormous chunk of business.
This is a fantastic display of people's ability to unite, and voice their views on such an act. This will send a message to corporations, and politicians. Personally, I will be building a site for a friend's business in the next few weeks, and will NOT be using GoDaddy. They would have been my default choice. I'm glad this came out now. It may only be a few dollars, and a single voice, but add mine to the list of those who will not support those who would back outright censorship, and a disproportionate amount of power given to the movie studios and record companies. Is there anyone who believes that these corporations would not abuse their new tool once given to them?
I personally never bought a domain from godaddy, and have used namecheap for years now.After all this, I'm certainly sticking with them.
