Title: Bitcoin-accepting organizations' acceptance/usage of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: mizerydearia on December 23, 2011, 12:39:06 PM Discuss in ##SOPA (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55520)
Recently (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/12/godaddy-faces-december-29-boycott-over-sopa-support.ars) Go Daddy (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/12/23/godaddy_boycott/) has (https://google.com/search?tbm=nws&q=godaddy) expressed (http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=godaddy) support (http://www.reddit.com/search?q=godaddy) for (http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?chat=godaddy) SOPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act) For all of freenode communities see this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55520). Let's see who supports Go Daddy: Businesses (Trade) (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade) Code: # for i in `wget -O - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade|grep '<a rel="nofollow"'|grep http|sed 's|.*<a rel="nofollow" class="[^"]\+" href="[^"]*https\?://\([^/]\+\)[^"]*">[^<]\+</a>.*|\1|'`;do if test -n "$(whois $i|grep -i godaddy)";then echo $i supports Go Daddy;fi;sleep 20;done Bitcoin donation accepting sites (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects) Code: # for i in `wget -O - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects|grep '<a rel="nofollow"' |sed 's|.*<a rel="nofollow" class="[^"]\+" href="https\?://\([^/]\+\)[^"]*">[^<]\+</a>.*|\1|'`;do if test -n "$(whois $i|grep -i godaddy)";then echo $i supports Go Daddy;fi;sleep 20;done See http://godaddyboycott.org/ My thread wins by about 4 hours (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55479.0). You didn't see it because I decided to be "good" and put it in the "Politics & Society" sub-forum. As I point out in that post, Godaddy goes by many names, including "Domains By Proxy" "Wild West Domains". The most highly rated comment of this reddit thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/nmnie/godaddy_supports_sopa_im_transferring_51_domains/) explains how to avoid such pitfalls. In general, watch for the star trademark in the logo and avoiding any registrar making use of "SECURESERVER.NET."

Only the fact of Godaddy stealing domains people search in their site is reason enough to keep me away from them. Title: Re: Bitcoin community's acceptance of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: mizerydearia on December 23, 2011, 12:51:31 PM Godaddy always sucked, SOPA support is just another item in their suck list. Only the fact of Godaddy stealing domains people search in their site is reason enough to keep me away from them. Of course, but even those reasons are not powerful enough to argue or convince some or all human existences to not do business with them. It seems more powerful that their acceptance of SOPA is a strong reason to not do business with them. This post is an effort to spread awareness of those who do business with the evilness that is GoDaddy and perhaps an effort to convince them to not do so any longer. Title: Re: Bitcoin-accepting organizations' acceptance/usage of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: Technomage on December 23, 2011, 02:21:12 PM An important post in my opinion. SOPA is something everyone in this community should be well aware of and very strongly against. Any company supporting SOPA should be in immediate and absolute boycott. The last thing any Internet advocate wants or a Bitcoin advocate for that matter, is SOPA.

I have always been on the edge about godaddy. They have provided me good support and service for YEARS but also have been on the wrong side of numerous issues. With this one they are shooting themselves in the foot on so many levels. Under the guise of protecting American business and jobs, SOPA will actually cause both to disappear when foreign customers of American businesses realize that they will now be under control of that law if they use the same companies. Most probably my new domain host will NOT be based in America. It will be starting the process of moving away from goaddy in the first week of the new year if they do not reverse their position on SOPA. It will be a hard processes and while overall it will not cost money, it will cost money up front as most registrars require an extension with the move.

on the other hand piracy is pretty much mainstream now with torrents, firesharers, and streaming sites. if you think SOPA is bad, what could be done instead to effectively downsize piracy on the internet?

As I point out in that post, Godaddy goes by many names, including "Domains By Proxy" "Wild West Domains".

Pirates are already doing illegal things, one more won't stop them. Pirates will probably keep doing what they are already doing Not true! Due to the SOPA, the Pirate Party of Canada has moved (https://www.pirateparty.ca/uncategorized/godaddy-is-pro-sopa) from GoDaddy to NameCheap for their domain hosting. Quote from: Serge if someone want's to share their work it is their Did You Say “Intellectual Property”? It's a Seductive Mirage (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html)(Essay by Richard M. Stallman) The problem is that the "Intellectual Property" narrative is fiction. You can't transfer ideas, only share them. You can't destroy ideas, only suppress them. One thig I found disappointing about that essay is that RMS did not make it clear that "Intellectual Property" does have a technical legal meaning, related to the GATT treaty forming WIPO (http://www.wipo.int/portal/index.html.en). Recent treaties such as ACTA repeat the same language. The biggest problem with "Intellectual Property" is that it tramples property rights. I can no longer easily buy a "general Purpose" computer: they are being increasingly locked down so as to resemble consoles or cell-phones. Speaking of consoles, Sony remote revoked "Other OS" functionality on the FAT PS3's at the mere hint that somebody may be able to break out of the hypervisor. That is, millions of comsumers have had their property tampered with in the name of protecting "Intellectual Property" like copyrighted games. *I have not verified that it is a registered trademark.

Title: Re: Bitcoin-accepting organizations' acceptance/usage of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: BadBear on December 23, 2011, 06:58:38 PM Actually I'd like to go back to something you posted earlier.
I don't believe SOPA will be an effective method in censoring the internet. Every time a gov wants to censor something they would have to tie it up with piracy or counter-fitting, other than cases such as wikileaks it will be very hard for them to justify and prosecute a censorship case with SOPA. and people will take notice and react if it occurs, so I'm not really worried about SOPA censoring anything effectively. but the issue with piracy remains... If it does pass, it will be easy to get around it as you said. However this brings up a whole new set of problems as outlined in this paper http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110525_experts_urge_congress_to_reject_proposed_dns_filtering_protect_ip/ Quote The U.S. Government and private industry have identified Internet security and stability as a key part of a wider cyber security strategy, and if implemented, the DNS related provisions of PROTECT IP would weaken this important commitment. DNS filters would be evaded easily, and would likely prove ineffective at reducing online infringement. Further, widespread circumvention would threaten the security and stability of the global DNS. The DNS provisions would undermine the universality of domain names, which has been one of the key enablers of the innovation, economic growth, and improvements in communications and information access unleashed by the global Internet. Migration away from ISP-provided DNS servers would harm efforts that rely on DNS data to detect and mitigate security threats and improve network performance. Dependencies within the DNS would pose significant risk of collateral damage, with filtering of one domain potentially affecting users' ability to reach non-infringing Internet content. The site redirection envisioned in Section 3(d)(II)(A)(ii) is inconsistent with security extensions to the DNS that are known as DNSSEC. The U.S. Government and private industry have identified DNSSEC as a key part of a wider cyber security strategy, and many private, military, and governmental networks have invested in DNSSEC technologies. If implemented, this section of the PROTECT IP Act would weaken this important effort to improve Internet security. It would enshrine and institutionalize the very network manipulation that DNSSEC must fight in order to prevent cyberattacks and other malevolent behavior on the global Internet, thereby exposing networks and users to increased security and privacy risks. Quote First, the DNS filters that would be required to enforce SOPA could be easily defeated, rendering them useless. Criminals could develop ways to redirect users to DNS servers outside the U.S. and SOPA’s influence, and users may even look for these foreign and/or unregulated DNS servers if the sites they are trying to locate have been blocked in their ISP’s DNS as a consequence of SOPA. Title: Re: Bitcoin-accepting organizations' acceptance/usage of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: Serge on December 23, 2011, 07:06:55 PM BTW i don't agree with my government on many things, some might even say my views are anti-american as i mock all of its political circus, i'm all for free speech and i'm concerned about piracy as well.
whoever above said gov could shutdown anyone with SOPA, the gov will need to build the case and argue that it is piracy or counterfeit related, otherwise they would not a stand a chance shutting down sites left and right without any legal justification and evidence of crime. do you honestly think if they censor your or anybodies else's site based on SOPA and you have nothing to do with piracy and counterfitting you won't be able to defend your case? and what kind of case will prosecution have if they can't present evidence of pirating or counterfeiting ?

Since the announcement of the boycott of GoDaddy, GoDaddy has just publicly (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/12/victory-boycott-forces-godaddy-to-drop-its-support-for-sopa.ars) dropped their support of the heinous Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA.

Title: Re: Bitcoin-accepting organizations' acceptance/usage of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: BitcoinPorn on December 24, 2011, 09:42:57 AM I have read enough for the past couple of hours, the too little too late sentiment regarding GoDaddy is sticking with me strongly.
I am going to look at the options people are making available, and I have no spare cash so if this is something that will cost me anything, than I am fucked here until next week sometime, but what are the best options? I have seen some links for pages to make transferring off GoDaddy so simple, but they are all down. Not that I can't figure out the back end of GoDaddy to transfer shit out of there, but I am lazy and enjoy reading large jpgs of text that offers things in five easy steps. Funny, Gawker dox'd GoDaddy CEO Quote Parsons stars in a self-help video blog, released bi-monthly on his website. His sidekick in the elaborately-produced videos is a busty blonde named "Leann" who inexplicably breaks into fake gangsta slang at random times. Episode #35 of Parson's blog is called "How to grow STEEL BALLS (even if you're a woman)." Parsons cannot get enough attention. He loves publicity so much that GoDaddy called off an IPO in 2006 because of a "quiet period" which meant Parsons would have had to cancel his Internet radio show and stay off TV and radio. "For us, the quiet period that came along with the I.P.O. filing has been suffocating," he wrote on his blog. He once wrote about how he was a fan of abusing Guantanamo Bay detainees because it was "incredibly mild" compared to what the terrorists were up to. Then he backed down after public outcry. Parsons' YouTube account features a 7-minute trailer to his 2009 wedding video. His wedding video has a trailer. And it looks to have been shot for IMAX. Parsons lives according to 16 principles, including such revolutionary mantras as "take things a day at a time" and "solve your own problems." Parsons' Twitter handle is Drbobparsons. But his bio states "Not a real doc." In fact, Parsons received an honorary doctorate of "Humane Letters" from the University of Maryland. He has a giant diamond stud in one ear. http://gawker.com/5787676/meet-godaddys-ridiculous-elephant+killing-ceo has links and video, nice.

(Norwegian): http://www.digi.no/885926/domenegigant-trekker-stotten-til-%ABsopa%BB http://www.godaddy.com/newscenter/release-view.aspx?news_item_id=378 Quote Go Daddy No Longer Supports SOPA Looks to Internet Community & Fellow Tech Leaders to Develop Legislation We All Support Contact Stephanie Bracken, PR Specialist 480.505.8800 ext.4451 PR@GoDaddy.com SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Dec. 23, 2011) - Go Daddy is no longer supporting SOPA, the "Stop Online Piracy Act" currently working its way through U.S. Congress. "Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation - but we can clearly do better," Warren Adelman, Go Daddy's newly appointed CEO, said. "It's very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it." Go Daddy and its General Counsel, Christine Jones, have worked with federal lawmakers for months to help craft revisions to legislation first introduced some three years ago. Jones has fought to express the concerns of the entire Internet community and to improve the bill by proposing changes to key defined terms, limitations on DNS filtering to ensure the integrity of the Internet, more significant consequences for frivolous claims, and specific provisions to protect free speech. "As a company that is all about innovation, with our own technology and in support of our customers, Go Daddy is rooted in the idea of First Amendment Rights and believes 100 percent that the Internet is a key engine for our new economy," said Adelman. In changing its position, Go Daddy remains steadfast in its promise to support security and stability of the Internet. In an effort to eliminate any confusion about its reversal on SOPA though, Jones has removed blog postings that had outlined areas of the bill Go Daddy did support. "Go Daddy has always fought to preserve the intellectual property rights of third parties, and will continue to do so in the future," Jones said.

Title: Re: Bitcoin-accepting organizations' acceptance/usage of GoDaddy which supports SOPA Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on December 30, 2011, 04:59:41 PM Quote Yesterday, Go Daddy’s new CEO Warren Adelman posted this short statement in Go Daddy’s forums: Go Daddy opposes SOPA because the legislation has not fulfilled its basic requirement to build a consensus among stake-holders in the technology and Internet communities. Our company regrets the loss of any of our customers, who remain our highest priority, and we hope to repair those relationships and win back their business over time. This reads, to me, as if Warren Adelman's only concern is GoDaddy's stock value. To hell with holding any convictions as to whether a law is good or bad for a community--regional or global.

I'm not sure if Warren is addressing this toward GoDaddy's customer base or stockholders.

Warren joined Go Daddy after numerous senior positions in the technology market including CEO of NeoPlanet, a customer interaction software company where he established partnerships with Compaq, USA Networks, MTV, Universal Studios, New Line Cinema and others. Warren was also President of Strategic Relations at Network Associates (now McAfee) and Vice President of Business Development at Bigfoot, a leader in email communications and marketing automation technologies. In 2002, Adelman joined Go Daddy as the Vice President of Corporate Development. In addition to his role at Go Daddy, Warren serves on the Industry Advisory Board at Arizona State University's College of Technology and Innovation. He also was a member of the ICANN Affirmation of Commitments Accountability and Transparency Review team. Prior to entering the private sector, Warren served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces.
