Maybe I'm being overly cynical, but this reads to me like: we still support SOPA, but we're going to pretend we don't, because we realise our customers are against it, but feel we can fool them by making a pro forma denunciation of SOPA.

I'm not a customer of Go Daddy, but if I was I would still transfer my domains. This declaration isn't good enough for me.

Agreed. They were totally for SOPA yesterday, and even went so far as to publicly antagonize people who disagreed with their position. Their general counsel was also an architect of the bill. Forgive me if I don't quite buy that they're going to stop pulling strings in SOPA's favor behind the scenes.
