- marshray 15y agoGodaddy can seize your domain even if they're not your registrar.
- icebraining 15y agoHow so?
- marshray 15y agoHere's http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2011/11/court_oks_priva.htm http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2011/11/court_oks_priva... an example court order giving "an injunction against the top-level domain name registry, directing it to change the registrar of record for the domain names to GoDaddy".
- wmf 15y agoIn that case it looks more like Chanel convinced a court to sieze a domain; GoDaddy had little to do with it.
- marshray 15y agoWell it's a pretty funny coincidence how whenever there's domains to be seized they always seem to end up at GoDaddy.
- georgieporgie 15y agoWell, according to some data I found[1], GoDaddy has 36 million registrations, while the next closest registrar is Enom at 9.7 million. In fact, GoDaddy has more registrations than the next six most popular companies combined. So, it probably makes sense that most of the registration-relation things you hear about involve GoDaddy.

- marshray 15y agoTo be clear, these are instances of domains specifically being moved to GoDaddy. When I have spot-checked lists of seized domains in other cases, domains registered with GoDaddy were serving the ICE seizure page while domains with other registrars were simply down.
