Who can keep up with SOPA?
I sure can’t. Did you hear GoDaddy supported SOPA? And now they supposedly don’t anymore. But as boingboing points out, Who Needs SOPA when GoDaddy has a completely horrible takedown policy?
The Positive Internet Company explains how SOPA is terrible for everyone in and outside the US and why GoDaddy is so bad. They’ll even help you move away from GoDaddy even if you don’t take your business to them. And Jason Kottke gives you more reasons to hate GoDaddy.

- EFF reviews their fight against the Internet blacklist bills in 2011.

- Dan Bull crowdsourced an anti-SOPA rap
- The MPAA says SOPA-style censorship works in Yemen and Syria
- Law professors explained what’s wrong with SOPA constitutionally

The text to that Hitler parody is perfect:
“You don’t get to destroy the internet just because it doesn’t fit your business model.”
