What exactly are you claiming copyright on? "© Matt Bearman Ltd 2011" gives me a rather bad impression, especially for a protest website like that.
You can't claim copyright on a list of facts anyway, at best you might have a database right.
I'm also based in the U.K.
I'll be switching the first thing tomorrow morning.. all 100 or so of my domains. Will be spreading the word to all my internet marketing friends as well. I'm tempted to write a scraper script that finds sites registered with Godaddy (using public registration info/searching for "registered with Godaddy"), harvest emails, and tell them all about switching.
I could help with this, if you know of a site where it has lists of domains registered with godaddy let me know and consider it done, I already have an email harvester script I've been working on and can easily tweak it to do this, its multi-threaded so it can go to a lot of sites, crawl them and pull the emails in fast.

"if GoDaddy users are actually taking actions" There has been so much past idiocy from GoDaddy, that I'm surprised there are all that many HN readers left with them now anyway.
I've been with them for 10yrs and they have never wronged me. The only reason I'm considering switching is the moral reasons with SOPA. When you have 30+ domains on a single registrar it is a little frustrating to go through each one individually and get the authorization code, unlock them, and request the transfer. Also, for me, I have domains that I did 5-10yr registrations on, so the transfer and getting 1yr free…
You could use the tools to export all your domains, get the transfer codes, drop those into NameCheap (with the SOPASUCKS coupon) all at once, then go back to GoDaddy and confirm the transfers to avoid a long wait. And they even let you keep the time you had registered.
