The reason why GoDaddy wasn't worried about SOPA was because they had spent months helping write the bill, and an amendment had been submitted exempting them from its provisions. So they got to set up the competition for this onerous bill, as well as their customers, and then got themselves exempted from having to obey the same law. Nice, huh?
