lets not forget that GoDaddy's owner is US private equity group KKR. All of KKR's tech portfolio companies should also be banned (if applicable). http://kkr.com/partners/portfolio-partners.php
Why? The KKR portfolio is independent companies with independent political standpoints...

Wow that was an interesting list... I had only heard of 5 of those companies, but this one stood out. Tasc.com Checkout one of their services: Cyberwarrior training http://www.tasc.com/capabilities/cyberwarrior_training/ "Cyber security requirements have changed: hackers have started working full time for criminal syndicates; spammers and adware/spyware developers are now using the same code as worm writers; and orga…

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...
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.

> 1) Child pornography Obviously this is an extremely touchy subject, but I think the fact you have even one exception shows you are not grasping the problem here. So in your country, "Child" may mean It just makes no sense to say "There are no exceptions. Except this one, that can be interpreted in hundreds of different ways". Once you leave it for interpretation, the scope will expand and expand until children are…
Slippery slopes notwithstanding you could easily make a case that anything lower than the lowest age-of-consent is at least clearly child porn. After that you're in a gray area, but below that you definitely should get into a lot of trouble.
And what about teenagers wearing tiny bikinis?
The slope is more than slippery, it's vertical.
This blog post from their lead lobbyist defending their support is absolutely grating. http://rudysyndrome.com/2011/10/28/online-copyright-laws-won... "Most of what we are seeing is either 1) rhetoric, 2) regurgitated lobbying spin, 3) criticism of language we have already fixed, or 4) retweets by people who like to steal music and buy fake, but cheap, goods." Ugh. (oBDisclaimer: I work for a registrar that unequivoc…
I know probably many people would agree with stopping "cheap fake goods", but can people really not distinguish between originals and fake products? If anything I wouldn't be for a law that completely bans the cheaper versions of the original. I'd be for a law that only makes it illegal to say they are originals when they are not. But I would allow them to be sold in the market, as long as they state it's a "clone" p…

What are the incentives for Visa and Mastercard to support SOPA?
Still, biting the bullet and (finally) transferring everything over now.

I'm going to piggyback on your comment here, since it's at the top of the comment thread. From the Reddit link: "Name Cheap messaged me with a special discount code for reddit users: BYEBYEGD I'm not taking any positions i'm just reporting it. I asked him to give reddit users a better deal." I'm not affiliated with NameCheap at all, but if you're going to move your domain, this might make things easier.
I'd actually highly recommend iwantmyname.com - I found the whole process to be a breeze (transferred from Name Cheap to them actually :)). Again, I am not affiliated to iwantmyname nor do I have ties other than my own domain being with them.

> Obviously this is an extremely touchy subject, but I think the fact you have even one exception shows you are not grasping the problem here. Or we are discussing two different things, which is completely my doing. I was thinking of speech in the constitutional sense; I was not speaking of domain seizures. I completely agree that the government/corporations should not have the power to seize domains under any circum…

For some reason I can't see a reply link under hir answer, so I'll just leave this here: Constitution is neither the only one, nor the most effective assertion of unalienable freedoms.

I believe that the deeper a thread is, the longer it takes for a reply link to appear on a comment. This is to prevent endless flamewars, which immediate replies facilitate.
