GoDaddy's leadership helped write SOPA, of course they dealt themselves into the bill!

  Can you support that statement? If GoDaddy helped write it, then they are worse than I thought.

    For newgy: "Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation - but we can clearly do better," Warren Adelman, Go Daddy's newly appointed CEO, said.

      ProTip: If your a new User <1hr old wanting to paint GoDaddy in a good light, the trick is to make it somewhat plausible you don't work for them.

        I work for GoDaddy's competitor. If anything we've seen a windfall from the day's events due to our outstanding approach against SOPA. See my other comments/submissions and you'll figure out I'm legit.

          Oh I did check your profile to form my conclusion.

            Maybe "Source is pretty credible" means something different to you? With the meaning it has in rawrly's comment, you could replace it with "Straight from the horse's mouth."

    In GoDaddy's 180º press release: "Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation" "Go Daddy and its General Counsel, Christine Jones, have worked with federal lawmakers for months to help craft revisions to legislation first introduced some three years ago." http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/23/godaddy-no-longer-supports-sopa/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/23/godaddy-no-longer-supports-...
