Crowdsourced List of SOPA Supporters 180
Fraser Cain writes "GoDaddy listened to reason, and reversed their position on SOPA. Here's a crowdsourced list of every other company supporting SOPA with web address, Twitter feed, contact emails and phone numbers. Perhaps they should be contacted to find out if they still fully support SOPA, or have changed their mind."

Because they want to shut down every online shop that sells cheap footwear falsely claiming it to be Nike? Actually, forget the second part - just shut down any online shop that sells cheap footwear without due process.

The document is public, no sign-in required. Or that's what Google says at least.
If that's the case, they are lying. All I get is a sign in page.

I just copied the names, because the contact information is being updated, but for what it's worth here:

GoDaddy did *not* reverse position (Score:5, Informative)
They said they will simply take a less forward stance (less openly pro-SOPA). They definitely did not change course.

This should be a truly public version of the sheet, read-only though.

What exactly does the Fraternal Order of Police stand to gain from passage of SOPA exactly??

Just shows that timothy doesn't open any article submitted.
BTW the link submitted by AC at the same time is better - it's html - the google docs link pops up error messages (seriously, Google, 2011???) when I open it.

If this passes, I could shut down Makezine. They lifted some of my photos and included them in one of their on-line issues. How many times have you blogged about something and lifted a photo? This is a copyright violation just the same as if you shared a recent film.
No complaints on Makezine though. I would have given permission if they asked. They didn't ask, so they don't have permission. I'm picking on them for example only.
This is how dangerous this law is. I could shut down Makezine for copyright violations if this passes as I am the copyright owner of some images posted there.

If this passes, they need to be very careful about what they post that is submitted by users.

WIKIPEDIA BOYCOTTS GODADDY,
LOBBYING AGAINST SOPA,
PLANS ONLINE PROTEST POTENTIALLY INCLUDING PARTIAL BLACKOUT
Jimbo Wales:
I am proud to announce that the Wikipedia domain names will move away from GoDaddy.
Current protest proposal:
* Triggering event: When SOPA has passed committee and is scheduled for a floor vote in either the House or Senate. The banner runs for the week before the vote, and switches to the blackout on the day before.
* Scope: Response is geotargeted to United States IP addresses only
* Duration: Maximum of 7 days for banner component, maximum of 24 hours for blackout component. Blackout is triggered on the business day before the vote. If the vote is on a Monday, blackout runs for 24 hours starting Friday.
* Action (banner): Banners encourage people to contact their Senators and Representatives (priority given to whichever is urgent, House or Senate).
o To the maximum extent possible, readers are given instant information on how they can take action. Campaign is designed to mobilize the public maximally.
o The focus is on generating high-value congressional contacts (phone calls and in-person contacts vs letters or emails)
o A VOIP-based callback system (such as the one used recently by tumblr) is an option if we can find one that fits our needs and allows us to remain acceptably independent.
o Banners operate like the fundraising banners (served via CentralNotice, can be closed per-user, etc).
* Action (blackout): All requests are answered with a black page. The page is semi-protected Wikitext. Once the page is displayed, a cookie is set which prevents its display again. Exact wording to be decided, but it hits the following points:
o SOPA puts Wikipedia, and the rest of the free Internet, at risk
o You can help by contacting your representative and senators (with maximally easy help with ways to do that)
o A "Learn more about SOPA" link which points to the relevant article on the English Wikipedia
o A "Why am I seeing this" link which points to a page detailing the process for reaching this consensus
o A link to click through to the originally requested page
o "You will only see this page once"
