The reason GoDaddy is being punished is because it requires no real sacrifice, and makes people feel like activists from the comfort of their chair. Transferring a domain requires no real effort, and downtime to the business is almost nil (not to mention the cost is non-existent if your domain is already expiring). Let's look at some of the SOPA supporters: Timer Warner, Pfizer, Viacom, The Walt-Disney Company, and Wal-Mart. Are people ready to boycott these companies and their subsidiaries? I don't think so. I applaud companies that decided to move away from GoDaddy, but I wonder if they would've done the same thing had there been a financial loss as a result. Real change will come when people decide to stop supporting companies that introduce these idiotic laws.
