GoDaddy, SOPA and all-all-all. Part 2

The Internet is replete with references to SOPA, GoDaddy and all this hype about the “Stop Online Privacy Act” _{(irony, more attentive!)}

Who doesn’t know, first GoDaddy declared support for SOPA , then she refused her words , and then in an interview with TechCrunch it turned out that I didn’t refuse at all.

Naturally, the company's image has deteriorated significantly in the eyes of many users, and they massively began to "take away" thousands of domains from GoDaddy. And if at first GoDaddy just called users, now they have switched to more hooligan methods.

According to the official blogNamecheap, GoDaddy, impedes the process of transferring domains without giving competitors complete whois information. At the same time, as owners of domains say, they themselves can get access to complete information about their domains.

GoDaddy violates ICANN rules by such frankly frivolous actions.

At the same time, the same Namecheap picked up the idea that was expressed on Reddit, and organized the so-called MoveYourDomain Day , an auction of unprecedented generosity, not only offering to transfer a domain from GoDaddy to them for a symbolic $ 6.99, but also promising to give one dollar from each transfer to the Electronic Frontier Foundation , a non-profit organization for protecting the rights of Internet users.

At the time of publication of the article, I did not see any shares from other registrars. They say that Name.com launched some kind of campaign on this subject, but nowhere on the site did I mention it. I will be glad of any confirmed information in the comments.

UPD: Habrauser mveselovski suggested: " Name.com offers a 40% discount on GoDaddy transfer of demen, you can find out details on their @namedotcom tweeter "

UPD 2: Another interesting article prompted me. GoDaddy, it turns out, was not only involved in the drafting of the bill, but also inviolable to the SOPA . Gorgeous.
