GoDaddy changes stance on SOPA, but why?

December 30th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

So if you haven’t heard the stories on the internet about GoDaddy announcing that they are firmly behind the act that will put major penalties to people who download things on the internet with copyright protection well that was a mistake. Once GoDaddy announced they were behind this act people started to dump GoDaddy as a whole. The funny thing is you have to see that GoDaddy is flip flopping their stance on the SOPA. The problem I see here is that Godaddy is losing major business because they first backed the act and lost tons of business and had tons of transfers to other domains. They are now just changing their stance because of money, no matter what garbage the CEO spews from his venomous mouth, I know they are doing for greed and not because they believe that this SOPA act is a bunch of junk. GoDaddy just lost even more points with me if that was even possible. If truly believe in the act that is fine but I will tell you that if you change your stance purely because you are losing business due to your convictions then you really need to check yourself. I am disgusted and outraged that GoDaddy would change their stance just in time for Dump Godaddy day.
