Moving away from godaddy due to their support of SOPA

Phil and I are in the process of moving our domains away from Godaddy due to their support of SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).
I believe SOPA is trying to protect obsolete businesses (Music, Movie) that are mainly failing because they refuse to change and offer a compelling product. I do not agree with the breaking the internet dns system, censoring sites with no trial, and increased liability on site owners where users submit content (basically...the internet). Hearings for SOPA have been extremely one sided and the tech industry has largely been ignored. Serious concerns are being brushed off as being is support of "piracy" when they are anything but. SOPA and PIPA are a step to far and I do not support them.
