Those in the favour of SOPA: Go Daddy.com ‘Yea’ – Part 2

However, the reasons why Go Daddy has made such a dubious statement is that the company has lost its 21,000 domains on a single day, December 23rd. The company bosses do not want to lose their business because of the support for an act that isn’t
even up yet and moreover, it is quite in thick of controversies.
But once SOPA is up and running, things might change to some extent. Furthermore, Go Daddy might the ace up the government’s sleeve for pulling the plug on infringing websites and content.
There has been a long debate in the congress and the SOPA has been re-written quite a few times in the last four years. Nonetheless, there is still no final version but some excerpts of the document have been made public that are eminent to become a part
of the final version. However, the whole act, even if it is re-phrased from top to bottom, will make a mere ‘Potyto’ ‘Potato’ difference, if you get the drift.
The only measure that can bring an end to this is the inclusion of technology experts because the Congressmen do not know the difference from IP address to email address. The techies might instil some sense into this act and help find a middle way to address
both piracy and privacy.
