This wasn't a threat -- "you'd better stop supporting SOPA or we'll move our domains".
That's fairly useless, because the damage is already done (and anything they put now in a press release is obviously -- even to senators -- just GoDaddy's PR folks "managing" those excitable internet users and their cause du jour (secret: say whatever you have to today, let it blow over, and go back to business as usual next month).
Instead, it's more worthwhile to watch the history of decisions, lobbying, etc. by a company, and avoid them as needed based on that. A company can change, to be sure, but not through vague press releases -- only through building up new history.
