If your customers had been your highest priority, you wouldn't be in this mess. I promise you that. How many of your customers asked you to draft and support a legislation which risks permanently damaging the Internet as we know it?
GoDaddy has served media-companies and politicians, and not their customers. And based on their weak "opposition", they are far from changing that today.
That's probably the only true thing they've said here. They change their public face based entirely on what gets them customers. I don't want to do business with a company that changes their positions every time the wind changes.
I don't understand this claim. Since the beginning of this whole fiasco, I've wondered exactly how SOPA would in any way benefit GoDaddy. But do you seriously believe their support of SOPA is from some special relationship with the recording industry? I don't see why that would be the case.
There's a difference between
"If you want to see our server logs, you're gonna need a warrant!" and
"If you want to see our server logs, you're gonna need a warrant; the Eastern District has pretty fast turnround and they know the landcape. Just bring that warrant back over here, and we'll get you the data you need."

I wonder if this still holds now that they "oppose" SOPA. If it does, then their opposition is nothing more than a joke..
