Middleboro, MA | Horray for B-lls Well Bob Parsons is not one to sit back and go with the flow.
I applaud GoDaddy for taking down the domain name. Federal law would probably protect him. ICAAN will back him.
Even if it was a breach of contract. Good going GoDaddy. |

Chicago, IL | What are you smoking?
Parsons is an idiot...for many reasons, chief among them - naming a company Go Daddy!
GoDaddy is the worst ICANN registrar...and that's a shady bunch to begin with. Their saving grace is their low cost...but as they say, you get what you pay for and sometime, especially with GoDaddy, maybe even a little bit less. |

Can you cite something that buttresses your contention that ICANN would approve of this?
Considering GoDaddy's boiled-down philosophy that you pay to use the domain name, but they own it, none of this is particularly surprising. I would never use them to register anything. |

Middleboro, MA | Personal information posting which could be used for identity theft could be considered an act of Terrorism. I am not a lawyer and if anyone else here is and can prove me wrong then fine. Not a bunch of Yahoos spouting prove it.
My contentions are my contentions but I offer this. It is a violation of the TOS because the information posted on the site which the Domain Name resolved to had information that could be used for spamming purposes. Spam is against the law. Something called the Can Spam Act or something. Therefore it is a violation of the GoDaddy TOS.
GoDaddy contacted the owner of the site by email and phone and did not receive a response for an hour. I know it doesn't' sound like a long time but it was an hour. The owner admitted that he got the voice mails when he woke up. Maybe he should have had his phone on and near his bed. The violation of the TOS (as said by GoDaddy) should result in a take down of the Domain Name. The site was still there. The site was still accessible, you just needed the specific IP Address. It's a good thing that he didn't use GoDaddy as a site host or he would have lost the whole site.
I stand behind Bob Parsons' company. I hope they would do it again even if it was one of my site. |

kudos:5 | NO. It's not. The mere thought of myspace being a national security concern is so obscerd im having trouble thinking of a reply, as im certain dozens of others are just as speechless. I can only compare your stupidity to that of our current attorney general, who famously stated americans do not have the right to hab corp guaranteed in the constitution. |
