Looks like GoDaddy lost 70k domains over SOPA support. Unfortunately, there are many other companies that support SOPA.

Are there any organized protests targeting these companies?

Pretty interesting seeing this same list presented over at GFY with most of them overwhelmingly supporting it, which is obvious since most there have been screwed over by tube sites.

I think many of those companies above are in the same boat, they support it and will continue to support it regardless of the few provisions that most everyone else has trouble with.

Mainly this little tidbit from a harvard constitutional law professor:
The notice-and-termination procedure of Section 103(a) runs afoul of the "prior restraint" doctrine, because it delegates to a private party the power to suppress speech without prior notice and a judicial hearing. This provision of the bill would give complaining parties the power to stop online advertisers and credit card processors from doing business with a website, merely by filing a unilateral notice accusing the site of being "dedicated to theft of U.S. property" – even if no court has actually found any infringement. The immunity provisions in the bill create an overwhelming incentive for advertisers and payment processors to comply with such a request immediately upon receipt. The Supreme Court has made clear that "only a judicial determination in an adversary proceeding ensures the necessary sensitivity to freedom of expression [and] only a procedure requiring a judicial determination suffices to impose a valid final restraint." Freedman v. Maryland , 380 U.S. 51, 58 (1965). "[P]rior restraints on speech and publication are the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights." Nebraska Press Assn. v. Stuart , 427 U.S. 539, 559 (1976).

People should be consistent with who they choose to attack/boycott. All I see is the same old GoDaddy hate (even though they did take it back). How many of you are still sporting Adidas and Nike products?! & as if anyone would boycott ESPN.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Fuck ESPN though, I can get by on NFL Network and MLB Network, then I saw NFL and MLB are supporters so I guess I'll just be a hypocrite then. However, MLB and NFL (as well as a lot of those companies listed) are trying to protect their own intellectual property, whereas GoDaddy is essentially part of the infrastructure of the Internet and trying to be part of the enforcement mechanism of SOPA.

In other words, if I had a copyrighted MLB clip on a site I would expect MLB to take issue with it and demand a takedown, but I wouldn't expect my registrar to fuck me in the ass. It's not their property they should simply act as an arbiter and either enforce the DMCA or not.

EXACTLY. GoDaddy is trying to be the internet police when they should stick to being a registrar and hosting company and keep their fucking noses out of other people's business.

They supposedly want to limit the power of government. People are asking them on facebook why they support sopa, but they aren't responding.

I am pro-SOPA. This is exactly what we need, put the internet into the governments hands and hopefully this will expand to the government regulating the e-giants like Google also.

SOPA and S.978 will have no impact on people who are not making a profit from willful copyright infringement. If people actually bothered to read the bills rather than lies fed to them by those who oppose it.

It is already a felony to upload or publish copyright infringement materials for profit and has been since 1986. That won't change but what will change is the ability of the feds to take action to protect the US owners of copyrighted materials being illegally broadcast or published by websites who intentionally ignore the laws.

I think I know why you Internet marketers are opposed to this law. Because you steal content from websites created by law-abiding citizens for your own profit. Hopefully spinning and publishing articles written by others will be covered.

Are people really actually afraid that they might have to pay for the things without breaking the law?

No im just tired of the gov getting into my shit. Now they are creeping their dirty fingers in the internet. Inch by inch they will have it. Gov needs to go work on figuring out there own day to day ponzi scheme, stop spending money, and stay out of my shit.

You know what? I was always wondering what a liberal, New York Congressman had to say about the Internet. Thank you, now I do!

Seriously, fuck off. You don't have to steal content to know how dangerous SOPA is.

I honestly want to know something: When was the last time you ever, in your life, met someone over the age of 18 that has never broken a law in their life?

I cannot honestly answer that question as the scope of breaking the law covers so much.. Going 1mile an hour over the speed limit is breaking the law so your question is invalid.

Your car should be taken away and crushed if someone accuses you of driving 1mph over the speed limit . The post SOPA regulated world is no place for law breakers.

There should be consequences for breaking the law but come on, crushing someones car is a bit too far. A monetary fine plus suspension of thier license until they re-sit and pass thier driving test again is more than sufficent and what I would push for.
