I use my corporate name and a p.o. box for my domains so I don't care, but I still think it's a stupid law. I think the whole whois thing is stupid to begin with anyway. There is absolutley no reason for someone's whois information to be public. The only people who should have access to the whois info are your registrar, ARIN, ICANN, etc. There is no reason for Joe Blow Surfer or anybody else to have access to your info. Besides, if the whois info wasn't made public, people wouldn't feel a need to fake their info to protect their privacy. If the government wants to find out who you are it's easy enough for them to get your info from your registrar.
