		drx on Dec 23, 2011 \| parent \| context \| on: Go Daddy No Longer Supports SOPA > In changing its position, Go Daddy remains steadfast in its promise to support security and stability of the Internet. In an effort to eliminate any confusion about its reversal on SOPA though, Jones has removed blog postings that had outlined areas of the bill Go Daddy did support. > "Go Daddy has always fought to preserve the intellectual property rights of third parties, and will continue to do so in the future," Jones said. Translation: we got caught this time, but will not hesitate to do it again.
