What is MoveYourDomainDay?
In 2012, the Stop Online Piracy Act nearly passed. SOPA proposed that
owners of intellectual property block or disable any website that they
felt infringed on their intellectual property. Namecheap CEO Richard
Kirkendall had this to say at the time:
SOPA is like detonating a nuclear bomb on the internet. This legislation
has the potential to harm the way everyone uses the internet and to
undermine the system itself. At Namecheap, we believe a free and open
internet is the only option that will continue the legacy of innovation
and openness we stand for. Some of our competitors support SOPA, despite
the untold damage it can do to the internet as we know it.
Richard Kirkendall, Namecheap CEO
Because
of the threat to our customers, we hosted the first official
MoveYourDomainDay in 2012 as a call-to-action for those who opposed SOPA
and wanted to leave service providers who supported SOPA and other such
ill-conceived legislation. Every year, our lawmakers propose new laws
restricting internet freedom. That's why we continue to fight on with
our annual MYDD. To our loyal clients: Thank you for being part of this
important work.
Every year, as part of our MYDD effort, Namecheap
donates a portion of the day’s sales to online freedom fighters the
Electronic Frontier Foundation. EFF is a donor-supported membership
organization that works to protect fundamental rights regardless of
technology and to educate the public about digital rights. Learn more about EFF →
