While I can't find fault with your argument, it doesn't seem to match reality. GoDaddy very publicly dismissed the boycott and then rapidly turned around and caved in to it. If it's not an effective solution, surely that wouldn't have happened.

Except they didn't cave. They made a press release that they thought would appease the general public as a stop-loss measure. GoDaddy still supports SOPA privately, and likely even monetarily.

True enough. But why respond at all? Seems like it has some effect, even if not as large as one might like.
