Go Daddy CEO admits ‘spike in domain name transfers’ over SOPA
Ahem. “GoDaddy opposes SOPA because…” their support of it cost them money. We’re not stupid, guys. We know weasel-words when we hear them.
Very clearly weaselly. Indeed, parsing what they say, the flaw is not what SOPA says, but that its supporters didn’t get a sufficient consensus to protect GoDaddy’s butt when they came out as rooters for it.
Too little, too late, Mister Parsons.
