Fair enough, although that wasn't posted at the time I made that comment (which is why I asked).
Although to be fair, the SS just made a request, and GoDaddy had no responsibility to comply, they did so on their own accord without any type of process.
In my book, it's GoDaddy's responsibility to do the right thing, not the SS' responsibility to not complain. If they would have been with a reasonable registrar, this would not have happened.
This is exactly what I thought. I think SS just emailed GoDaddy and GoDaddy just shut down everything.
Everyone is moving to different registrars, mainly NameCheap, I just hope they will be able to stand up for their users and ask for a court order. If other registrars start to shut down at the whim of the US Government, then we might have to move to registrars overseas. Unfortunately, that doesn't even seem safe to me, since there has been news of US pressuring other governments to put out SOPA-like laws. There is also the case of the British kid who was extradited to US.
