My position is that a WHOIS record should be treated as private information already. One should not have to opt INTO privacy with money. I agree with the Canadian system if it keeps your info. private by default.
If we're going to say that it's a public record and public records can be kept private with a paid service, then the line to hide police records is going to circle the globe a few times.
Who the fuck are they anyway to tell the world my phone number? Some guy with a suit? Fuck him and his suit.
