Heh, that was exactly my reaction. I was literally reading the statement out loud to a friend of mine as we talked about it and stopped midsentence and said "ha! godaddy. No wonder."

But that wasn't because Godaddy supported SOPA, although that does make me feel shadenfreude, it's because I used to work in the domaining industry. I honestly thought that even average web site operators with limited knowledge about registrars would know not to have your business domain on Godaddy. Even accounting for their scale there are a lot of shady episodes like this.

The SOPA part is just icing on the cake they were eating instead of doing their due diligence.
