It would be awesome if anyone who is transferring domains away from go daddy could add their to the list

Actually that's exactly what I thought when I saw the list yesterday. Several of those companies send people to Demo Day, and when I saw the list I thought: we should stop inviting them. So yes, we'll remove anyone from those companies from the Demo Day invite list.
Is Amex the only card association (well, sort of) left? Visa and Mastercard both are on the list.

While I understand your sentiments towards SOPA, are you really going to distance yourself from all of these companies? http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rouge%20Websites/SOPA%20Su...

I did another thread on here regarding this as well and I'm curious how far people are willing to go to prove a point or are they only singling out whatever makes sense. The above three have some strong strong monopolies or close to it so it makes things much harder. GoDaddy just happens to be one of the easy ones people can choose to switch from.

I am talking about marketing the program to congress/political figures in charge of funding for the training. THey would not be the ones taking the training - but the ones spending tax dollars on a service they really don't understand - thus the likelihood for abuse is higher. I err on the side of corruption when anything pertaining to governments is concerned. Call me paranoid.
Paranoid is not the word that comes to mind.

It sounds like you're suggesting apathy instead? To say it's a moot issue because there are technical work arounds is pretty naive. I seriously doubt any major browser would ship with a work around to this...I don't know why you assume they would.
I just think the sky isn't falling that's all. I think the endless posting of articles, protesting, etc etc is a big waste of man hours.
Even if domains are just a loss leader for GoDaddy, they surely look at their numbers, so this is a way to send them a message they'll hear. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, but no one who still has a domain at GoDaddy will be entitled to complain about SOPA if it passes.

I have been using GoDaddy for years. I'm just using it for a simple webpage+domain hosting and email. It works but I'm probably being overcharged since I don't bother with coupons. I have always been annoyed about the privacy complaints I've seen about them, but never cared enough to switch. Now I do care enough to switch, thanks.

Are you guys going to stop using Mastercard, VISA, and no idea who your internet provider is but if its Comcast, them too?

Name.com also has a rocking transfer special if you use the promocode "NoDaddy" as a response to their SOPA position.
I've decided to go with Name.com as it seems Namecheap is a reseller of ENOM, who I haven't particularly cared for (no reasons I can link or substantiate, just my own personal experiences and opinion on this one.)
