Your link exchange activity and other web site promotion efforts can go in vain if you miss this info and do not protect yourself from possible problems.
While re-reading the Mike Filsaime's Butterfly Manuscript the weird info popped up. It turns out that a very famous domain name registrar GoDaddy.com according to Mike's words "...do not use Godaddy.com to host your domain name. They are the only service I know that will take ownership of your domain if you get a spam complaint."
This quote provoked a heated discussion and many Internet marketers approve of problematic experience with this registrar.
On the surface if you do not spam anyone you can feel safe.
Can you really feel safe?
The safety is really superficial. If you are selling anything on your site and have affiliates - this can be a problem. You cannot control your affiliates and if someone is crazy enough to use spam as the promotion strategy - your domain is in trouble.
Another problem is that if you do link building the old way and send webmasters emails asking to exchange links with you, this is also kind of a spam. You can step on a webmaster that has a bad day and he/she sends a spam compliant - hence, domain in trouble.
This goes even worse, because under this scheme it is really easy to kill or put into a long knockout any business. Malicious 3rd parties can simply spam people pretending they do it as a promotion of a business. And if this business is registered under the mentioned service - your domain gets to prison. If you are persistent and can prove you are clear - surely they will turn the domain back. But imagine how much time will pass!

Go Daddy to take ownership of your domain? It does sound funny... Patriot act does not apply to domain registars! :)
You never know what is sh*t before you get into it.
