Wow... SO is still with GoDaddy? GoDaddy's position on SOPA has been clear since October; what took them so long?

The only time American Express has called me has been twice on my Gandi payment. Makes you wonder about their fraud algorithms. Surely Amex can see I make the same payment every year, or maybe that is the mark of a patient and not greedy fraud. FWIW I haven't had any troubles in the last few years.
The one time I had a credit card number stolen, Wells Fargo noticed the problem before I did. When I asked their fraud guy what the charges were that I didn't make he said they were a couple of domain name registrations. Presumably attempting to register domains is something card thieves do to verify a stolen number actually works before they resell it or use it for "real" purchases... but why they use domain fees fo…
Why did anyone ever use GoDaddy in the first place? There are much better options out there. Dynadot, Moniker, Gandi, ... the list is endless.
> Why did anyone ever use GoDaddy in the first place? Price ($1.xx .coms occasionally) pulls you in, inertia keeps you there. If all you do is use them as a registrar, you'll probably never have a problem, so no reason to reconsider. Plus, it's the biggest registrar, trust in numbers.

Perhaps off-topic, but after reading GoDaddy's letter, I am surprised that our discussions against SOPA don't focus on the root -- the fact that the legislation is presented in an incredibly misleading and vague manner. At face value, its purpose is to stop the foreign counterfeit drug/goods sellers -- you know, the same guys who spam us with "enlarge your..." and such offers. The same guys who pollute Google search…
Let me stop you there. I'd say no, because I feel that in many matters, especially those concerning the Internet, legislation is about as effective as politely asking the rain not to drip through your leaky roof.
Wow...this is like hearing that Github plans to quit Dreamweaver because it was feuding with Adobe.

I would. Not every nuisance should be outlawed, most nuisances probably shouldn't. Legislation always bears a cost, and, for instance, in this case the cost outweighs the benefits by a wide margin. As is often the case.
