Go DADDy Pays a Just Price - SOPA

       WHAT GUMMINT DOES
    
   
Go Daddy loses over 37,000 domains due to SOPA stance


  CLAP CLAP CLAP
Sic Semper
Hosting and domain registrar company Go Daddy has lost more than 37,000 domains in the past two days due to the company’s wishy-washy stance on the Stop Online Piracy Act.

Res Ipsa Loquitur
The fleeing domains comes as a result of the intense backlash from customers and Internet critics after Go Daddy appeared on an official list of companies supporting SOPA. The internet responded by staging a wide-spread boycott where people would switch their domains to another registrar, which Go Daddy initially dismissed as having little impact on their business. Now it seems that assessment wasn’t entirely accurate.

Although Go Daddy reversed their stance on SOPA, it wasn’t before 37,000 domains were transfer off of its service .. Sic semper tyrannis

I'm sick to death of threats like SOPA being hurled at us non-stop.   If you're unfamiliar with this piece of crap legislation— here, and here for some background.  Below are the perpetrators of this monstrosity, and yes, Republicans are in charge, and responsible.  All of them deserve to be primaried,  and thrown out of office.



The Stop Online Piracy Act was introduced by Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) and was initially co-sponsored by Howard Berman (D-CA),   Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Mary Bono Mack (R-CA), Steve Chabot (R-OH), John Conyers (D-MI),Ted Deutch (D-FL), Elton Gallegly (R-CA), Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Timothy Griffin (R-AR), Dennis A. Ross (R-FL), Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Lee Terry (R-NE). As of December 17, 2011, there were 31 sponsors.[65]

OBAMA: I have the power to detain Americans -- but I won't... - Drudge

He means Muslim Americans...White, Christian, Conservative Bitter Clingers are another story.

The ballot isn't going to fix this.

Chances are most of these politicians don't have a DAMN clue what any of this internet legislation means or what ramifications it'll lead to down the line (some of 'em probably lived most of their lives with rotary phones, pre-television and computers hooked up to teletype machines....)

There needs to be some sort of techno-committee to deal with proposed legislation before it can just be bullied through and bite us in the ass.

It's just a big assholes club and none of the little assholes are allowed to play any of their big asshole games. "What? The internet levels the playing field? Well, we'll soon put a stop to that!"

In case you hadn't noticed, the fix is in on everything. There is no level playing field anywhere anymore. It really is time to hang these cocksuckers, wipe the slate, and start again.
