"We'll forward all copyright complaints to you within 24 hours so that you can take action before your domain gets blocked forever! This is absolutely necessary if you want to host user-created content! Only $12.95 per month!"
"We can expedite the appeals process if your domain ever gets blocked! We have backroom deals with the RIAA/MPAA! Only $249.95 per domain per incident!"
Or, I dunno, conspiracy theory about selling more domains. Occam's razor?
Assuming they're not just being disingenuous.

She is using dangerous language -- talking about children, and about counterfeit goods which harm lives.
She makes it seem as if one must be for SOPA if they want to be against harming children or counterfeit goods. But that's not a logical conclusion. You can be for helping children and against SOPA. In fact, I'd imagine that would describe just about everyone who opposes SOPA.
SOPA is far reaching. SOPA is terrible and needs to be stopped. I'm all for something that stops the harm of children and the spread of counterfeit goods, but that's not what the SOPA debate is actually about. So let's focus on SOPA and not get misdirected by Ms. Jones.
And this is the key. Right in the first paragraph. I love children. I'm about to have my first in March.
But if you can't make a cohesive argument for something without trotting out "but think of the children!" in the very first paragraph, for an issue that is only tangentially related to kids ... well ... that pretty much says everything.
Also, GoDaddy needs to hire an editor who can spell "complementary".
Maybe their editors are all too busy staring blankly at breasts, like in their ads.
Go Daddy has a full time presence in Washington D.C. and
takes an active role in policy development that impacts
the Internet, particularly issues having to do with children.
I agree. But SOPA is not the answer. Apparently this author cannot conceive of a better alternative.
Every time when i read some company's "we are f.ing big you s.ckers" shit, i hate them a lot... Yes you are a big company because of us, the individuals. If you forget it, you have to lose.
