I just recently found out about that.

It is a shame that I have already transferred my domains from this company a few months ago, because now would be the perfect time.

Never ever again will this "person" see a single cent from me!

100 something of those outbound domains were mine... I'm just left with a couple recent domain purchases in my GoDaddy account (stuck in the 60 day no transfer window) and a few .TV's that need a new registrar since Fabulous doesn't do .TV.

SOPA sucks!

Not to toot my horn, but I recently blogged about this as well. Feel free to have a look.

I also quoted from TheDomains since they mentioned some numbers from RegistrarStats, which also tries - as accurately as possible - to track domain registration stats among registrars. Namely:

http://www.thedomains.com/2012/01/06...ransferred-in/
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=741457

Quote:
The final tally:

100,000 domain names were transferred away from Godaddy

117,000 domain names were transferred into Godaddy.com
(Note: RegistrarStats is a paid service, though I'm sure it costs money to keep track of stats anyway. There's likely a portion there preventing paid members from exactly quoting from them, so TheDomains probably had to quote a give-or-take figure instead.)
