GoDaddy vs SOPA and wishes for 2012!

It seems that it’s a topic of the last days - does GoDaddy support SOPA or not? Yesterday it was stated that GoDaddy officially removed from the House’s list of SOPA supporters. And even more…

GoDaddy is a company which manages over 45 million names and its support of such contradictory act made a real fuss among Internet services. I’ve already written about that. Now GoDaddy is out. So, what? Is this an end of SOPA activity? Totally, not. VISA, ESPN left in that list.

GoDaddy refused to support SOPA just a week ago and now even opposes it. But how does it happen? Simply, domains started transferring out and GoDaddy understood how much they can loose. So, this company stays on radically opposite positions now.

Such changeable opinions of GoDaddy could be a good lesson for other companies who are still in that list. Either they cooperate with Internet community or they will be banned, ignored and as a result will loose their incomes. This is also a good result for those companies which are fighting against SOPA – if you’re active, you can reach something in your life.

As it’s the last post of this year, I think it can be as an inspiration for the next one (irrespectively of the Mayan Calendar prophecy). Hope, 2012 will be more successful than 2011, especially in working with online affiliate programs.

See you in 2012,
