"The new lawsuit takes a very broad aim, though, by not only suing Texxxan.com but going after the site's host, GoDaddy, apparently for not much more reason than the fact that at some point Texxan cut a check to GoDaddy. John Morgan, the lawyer who filed the suit on Toups' behalf, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Ars, but explained his strategy to the Observer this way:
"GoDaddy is profiting off of it. The reality of it is at some level this issue of revenge porn has to become a public discussion and a legislative discussion and it raises issues of corporate responsibility. Why would an organisation like GoDaddy want to give its name to this type of website?" GoDaddy declined to comment."
