GoDaddy was a very easy, even painless, target. Switch to another registrar, done. The user only loses a bit of time, and in the end still is fully operation and the "boycott" doesn't directly affect them.

Ideally we'd be boycotting Nintendo, EA, CBS, etc as well. But that would mean actual sacrifice from people.

Yes, and playing video games is more important than our principles.
