The Cost of Doing Business
Even Danica Patrick in a bikini couldn’t help GoDaddy.com when the famous Internet company thought it was a good idea to support SOPA. Thousands of GoDaddy clients banded together to show the domain registrar exactly who’s wearing the man boots and who’s wearing womens boots by organizing a boycott. In a span of a few days, GoDaddy lost over 20,000 accounts when the disgruntled protesters transferred their domains to other registrars. GoDaddy blinked and withdrew its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act. It goes to prove that if you want to change minds don’t waste your time with marches and impassioned pleas to politicians who couldn’t possibly give a fuck about your interest. No . . . you want change, then cost the motherfuckers lots of money. Make’em bleed cash. See how fast they cave.
