Go Daddy Reverses Course On SOPA

An anonymous reader writes "Go Daddy has relented in the face of public pressure and will no longer support SOPA. 'Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation—but we can clearly do better,' Warren Adelman, Go Daddy's newly appointed CEO, said." Go Daddy was put under a tremendous amount of pressure from around the internet; a boycott had been organized for Dec. 29th, and several major sites threatened to pull their domains from Go Daddy, including Stack Overflow and I Can Has Cheezburger. The U.S. House Judiciary committee posted a list of companies who support SOPA (PDF).

Any day that poopstock protesters get arrested is a good day. But the legal ground for protesting on private property is very well trodden - the anti-abortion protesters have already tried everthing imaginable, and with much better funding and legal support than the occutards. Protests are legal in the street in front of the business you hate, not in their lobby (and not if you block access).
