Whoa, guys, they just shut down Megaupload and arrested a bunch of people.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation moved against a group of suspected online pirates Thursday, targeting the popular file-sharing website megaupload.com a day after Washington lawmakers were besieged by complaints about legislation designed to crack down on the online sharing of pirated copies of music, movies and other material, people familiar with the matter said.
Investigators said there was no connection between arrests in their two-year investigation and the political firestorm that erupted this week over a pending vote on the Stop Online Piracy Act.
This is a big deal, and even if it’s not related to SOPA, the timing certainly does a lot to put it on the minds of those worried about the law.
Whoa.
…did you know the Founding Fathers were LEVELLERS? No generation of US leaders ever seized as many aristocratically-held assets as Washington et al did! DIstributing them to the poor and middle classes! They utterly banned primogeniture and demanded equal division of wealth among a dying man’s kids! Today that would be seen as govt tyranny! But it succeeded in getting vast estates broken up, so we could be free. They HAD TO do all that, in order for American life to begin again, both flat and competitively free.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy
Follow these step-by-step directions to transfer all of your domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap.
I’m Boycotting GoDaddy because they are pro-SOPA.
Step 1: Login to GoDaddy and get to the domain manager.
Step 2: Select all domains
Step 3: Click on the “Locking Icon”
Step 4: Uncheck “lock domains”
Step 5: Find the tools tab —> “exportable lists”
Step 6: Click on “Add New Export” button
Step 7: Select “All My Domains” as the list type
Step 8: Check the “Authorization codes” box
Step 9: Generate the Exportable List
Step 10: Create account at another provider
I chose NameCheap (affiliate link). The rest of the images are specific to NameCheap.
EDIT: NameCheap is Against SOPA, here is their official stance.
People have also sent promo codes: “switch2nc” and “SOPAsucks” - try them too.
Step 11: Go to “transfer domain”
Step 12: Enter domains you wish to transfer & click “transfer”
**EDIT: You can simply add the domain, Auth code in Step 12 above**
ex: myURL.com, authorizationcode
**Thanks to Josh Pigford for the tip**
Step 13: Checkout
Step 14: Update EPP (Authorization code) code from GoDaddy Export File
Boom! There you go.
UPDATED: thanks to Jordan Skole, here is a way to expedite the transfer process.
Step 15: (Back at GoDaddy) Chose “Pending Transfers”
Step 16: Check all the domains (note: not all of the domains are not showing up yet, this takes a few hours apparently…)
Step 17: Check the “Accept” button and approve!
Step 18: Adios Godaddy!
Step 19: Transfer Complete (about 6 hours later)
Please do your part and help protect the Internet.

Excellent post on how to easily transfer your domain from GoDaddy to another registrar that isn’t pro-SOPA/pro-douchebag. This is my lunchtime project for today.
Suck it, GoDaddy.
This is a useful pamphlet.
