I think their auto-renew is optional (but default).  I was scared by it at first -- harkening back to my more meager college days, I didn't do any automatic payments at all.  Since then I've found it quite handy :)
I didn't dig much into the legalese, although anyone would of course be advised to(!!), I often find better customer service when I act more like an "average Joe" so to speak ;)

The only tip I have on godaddy is that there is almost always a 10% (or better) discount available... I check dealcoupon.com for such things... hope this helps!!  I share your annoyance with the undue extra fees just to keep my privacy a little stronger.
However, the federal place to eliminate your junk mail is the best way to cut back on unsolicited junk mail (I wish the phone-spam reduction was free, goodness gracious!)... the other thing you could do, if you have a number of them to register, is to start an LLC for $50, geta PO Box to go with it, and register them through that.

What the privacy feature does is if someone runs a "whois" on
your domain it shows as registered to Godaddy/Wildwest Domains

they're obliged to provide your information if requested by
something other than marketing folks.
