I still don't get how a few thousand lost domains hurt when godaddy has over 32 million..

Idea: Wouldn't it make sense to build a website that lists SOPA supporters, how to cancel subscriptions step-by-step (in case of godaddy) or listing competitors (in case of L'Oreal, etc.)? Something easy enough for the non-techies. Something that describes in small bulletpoints how evil SOPA/PROTECT-IP is (and thus the supporting companies).. Most people probably don't care about godaddy, but i'm sure more people care about L’Oreal, Tiffany&Co, Pfizer. I'm not american so it's hard to tell how much attention those companies and SOPA gets in general.. on HN it's all about godaddy and nothing about the rest, though.

In short, i'm wondering if the resources to build such websites couldn't be used better (pointing out companies that the general public knows about).. just saying..

Probably never hurt them financially. What they may not like is the idea that leaving GoDaddy is a thing, and not using GoDaddy is a thing.
