SOPA Supporters Learning (Slowly) That Pissing Off Reddit Is A Bad Idea
There’s been a lot of talk in the past few days about the companies supporting SOPA. As we’ve noted, it’s pretty damn difficult to find too many individuals who like SOPA (or PROTECT IP), but there are a fair number of companies who might find it advantageous to be able to cause all sorts of problems for foreign competition. There are a few lists floating around of SOPA supporters, but Andrew Couts has put together a big list of 439 organizations culled both from the Judiciary Committee’s website and the letter sent by the US Chamber of Commerce in support of the law.
We’d noted that there was some backlash towards companies supporting SOPA, but as more and more people recognize how bad these laws are, it’s getting more attention. Add to that the awesome power of Reddit… and the whole thing has kicked into overdrive.
Enemy number one on the list appears to be GoDaddy, with Redditor’s organizing a day (Dec. 29th) for GoDaddy customers to transfer their domains away from the registrar. We’ve discussed GoDaddy’s bizarre support for the law in the past — including the fact that, under the original definitions of SOPA, GoDaddy itself qualified as a “rogue site” since it recommended people buy domains violating the trademarks of lots of big companies. Of course, it’s also notable that GoDaddy recently hired a top lawyer… whose previous job was in “IP enforcement” for the federal government.
