GoDaddy has been a supporter of nearly every intrusive government regulation imposed on the Internet by governments.

Should you need to register a domain, there are several non-SOPA supporting alternatives available, like HostGator, Name.com and EasyDNS to name just three.

UPDATE: Yeah, they changed their position on SOPA. So what. They still suck. Jonathan Mann (sings) it better than I can say it:
