Does Godaddy have a pattern of creating this sort of fuckup and then handling it in ways that uniformly favor Godaddy and deny customers contractual right to seek redress, that a judge might deem worth assigning punitive damages to warn other commodity-middleman businesses to not be like Godaddy?

Has Godaddy demonstrated a pattern of violating Godaddy’s contract with ICANN, whatever those terms may be, with regards to performance of the basic duties of a ‘registrar’ on behalf of domain owners?

I’m not evaluating these things today since I’m not their lawyer, but certainly they’re both valuable questions.
