The question is now, if they do not "support" SOPA, willthey comply with any SOPA related domain takedowns should SOPA pass?

Sure, they don't overtly claim to support this law - but their actions after the fact shall really show whats going on inside.

Anyone recall when Earthlink was the only company to refuse to comply with allowing Carnivore boxes in its network?

Even though Earthlink, as a Scientologist founded provider, already had an internal policy of scanning all the traffic on their network to begin with.)

When the government shows up and wants something, very few companies refuse to comply. Even when they do not support the actions of the government.

We should be standing up to those companies as well - but we tend to forget quickly.

Nobody stood up to AT&T when they spied on EVERYONE for the crooks in DHS/NSA/CIA.

The reality is though that AT&T is far less of a public-facing company with a much more locked-in customer base. It's very easy to switch away from a company like GoDaddy and they know it.
