      Hmm.. I think that should have been the law from the gitgo. It would sure cut down on scam and ripoff sites. If there's nothing to hide, then no biggie.

        I agree mandatory true contact info on domain registrations. I have attempted to contact too many "admins" that were never proper addresses and most are registered to internetional cheaters and such.

        Get a PO box if you're scared but real contact info SHOULD be mandatory. Dont know how to enforce it though.

                Well, I've run into quite a few AMERICAN webmasters who put bogus information in their domain name registrations, which is probably a form of "wire fraud," a pretty serious crime. They tell mel, "Oh, I don't want to get spam" or "I'm trying to maintain some anonymity." Well, buttheads, you'll get spam no matter what...deal with it. And if you can't deal with your family knowing what you do, don't do it. They're going to find out eventually. I guarantee it.

                  Good luck to them trying to enforce that law.

                  How are they gonna verify the contact info on all the domains out there anyways? There are millions of domains already registered to people in over 100 countries around the world.

                    um, if you pay your registration bill, who cares what name you use. It's really no ones business.
                    If fraud is being committed from a site, that site can easily be shut down. As someone who deals with more fraud per day than most of you do in a lifetime, I know this law isn't about fraud, its about an excuse for the government to grab more regulatory authority.
                    There *is* not and *should* not be a law forbidding you to buy somthing as silly as a domain name under an assumed name.


                    You clowns should gain some consistency about how much government regulation you want.

                      I guess the US government thinks they still own the Internet, but I think Al Gore still owns it because the government never paid him for it yet.

                        No it isn't.

                        Fraud, in any form, is a false statement made with intent to derive some sort of criminal benefit therefrom.

                        There are plenty of good reasons to put bogus information in domain name registrations, among which the desire for privacy must certainly be numbered.

                                Easy. Along with the felony for the false info, they'll make it a Class A misdemeanor for a registraar to fail to verify the info. Then all the registraars within the reach of US law will start demanding faxed photo IDs, proof of address, and suchlike -- and charging an extra fifty bucks a domain to handle the administrative overhead and compensate for the regulatory risk.

                                Then everyone will start using overseas registraars not subject to US laws. Then the US registratraars will scream for a law forbidding US citizens to register a domain with anyone other than a US registraar. An obliging Congress will ride to the rescue, citing the need to protect America's high tech service companies or some such drivel.

                                Classic regulatory mission creep with a dose of unintended consequences thrown in.

                                This shit happens over and over and over and over. It's as predictable as erosion.

                                    Who cares? People care. That's pretty obvious. Not being a "John Doe" is a sign of honesty. Dealing with honest people is important.

                                    I've run into people trying to get in to see my content, which is passworded, who literally couldn't prove who they were or that they possessed a website.

                                    A real, honorable business operates in the daylight.

                                        so you want a law passed so that the odd trixster won't see your dopey pics.
