GoDaddy has been under fire for years for various reasons. While the SOPA boycott was definitely worthwhile and effective, we should really understand the power that the community has to influence a company's practices, and maybe shouldn't wait until it gets as bad as SOPA support to do this again in the future?

You preclude the possibility that perhaps people will only act when it actually gets as bad as SOPA.

Just as a company is motivated proportionally by money, a person is motivated by proportionally by how much something affects them.
