    Congress Passes Bill On Domains

    The U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday passed by voice vote a bill that would boost prison time for scammers who register Web sites under false pretenses. Sponsored by Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) and now heading to the Senate, would up jail time by seven years for identity thieves who "knowingly falsely register a domain name."

    Online investigators have found a potpourri of clearly fraudulent information entered in Web site registration records, ranging from bogus 555-555-5555 phone numbers to street addresses that rival "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" in adolescent-level humor.

    According to Smith, up to ten percent of the Internet's 30 million domain names may be registered under false identities.

          How dumb.

          I can just see the conversation inside the prison walls:

          "What choo in for?"

          "Rape"

          "What about you homey?"

          "False info on the whois."

          "Damn dude, watch your back"

            wasn't that topic covered in the Truth in Domains Act passed quite a while ago?

            or now are they saying merely having false whois info, in and of itself, is a CRIME?
            Investor with 5m - 15m USD to invest. Do you have a site or network of sites earning 50k - 200k a month income? Email your contact and preliminary data to: domain.cashventures (at) gmail.com....Please...no tire kickers...serious offers and inquiries only.

              This bill is focused on increasing the jail time to 7 years.

                    After Senate/House debate that will be increased to life for porn sites. Oh, death if it's a real bad porn site. This will apply to anyone in any country as the sites will be available to Internet users in the US.

                    Thinkk about putting 10% of those who have registered domain names in jail. Do we have enough space?

                    Idea? After due process, take the name away instead.

                      No shit, you know your living in a Fascist state when you can go to jail for something this fucking stupid.

                      You can only get a speeding ticket for endangering lives by driving like a bat out of hell and in most states get a ticket for weed possession, but god forbid you give false information on your Whois.

                      All of those people are a TRUE danger to society as we know it.

                        I bet the person who first started pushing this has a buddy who owns a registrar offering private WHOIS services!

                          I believe that the bill adds 7 years to anyone who was already committing a crime with the website. IE: obscentiy, fraud, etc.

                                      I think you're right...and you forgot to throw on 'copyright' infringement in the mix....I think that was a major push, esp by those RIAA loving dudes ie; Orin Hatch & company...

                                        pretty fucked up that this will make the average time served by a web criminal more than a common day murder. Not that I'm against putting the rules into effect, but 7 years is a bit excessive IMO.
                                        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                          who cares about this. If you are smart you will put "N/A" for all the domain infos. That way the info isnt false, its jut not avilable.

                                            this was my interpretation as well. I don't believe you're commiting a crime by simply having false whois, even though you risk losing your domain by doing so... but false whois will increase any penalties if you're caught using the domain, etc for fraud. have to run it by my lawyers tomorrow though.

                                              If someone won't put their real info 99% of the time its because they are doing something illegal with the domain.

                                              Why else would you hide it with fake ownership?

                                                Seven years is to fucking long.


                                                That should be a fine and probation or something.


                                                They don't need to be sending people to prision over whois info.

                                                  Why else would you hide it with fake ownership?

                                                  First thing that comes to my mind is hiding from all the gfy morons and scammers.

                                                    My info is real.. Maybe they should make it a fine or something. Man you could do less time for an ACTUAL crime, and thats not right..

                                                    You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                                        You guys in the US have a great goverment. Really internet friendly.

                                                        Guess they know they can't have a full control of US webmasters so they are going to make it as much difficult as they can so you can comply with Big Brothers demands.

                                                        Seriously after all happened this year, Who the fuck in our industry would want to live in the stats.

                                                        Mind you ALL my domains are under my or my companies name for I have nothing to hide.

                                                        Sad, really Sad.

                                                            Why should i post my phone number to every looser ?
                                                            Thats the reason.
                                                            Second case: i've changed my phone number and i own 1200 domains - now i need to spend my time to update the info .
                                                            The same with business address .
                                                            It's called privacy i think.

                                                            few years ago in US was no Bush, no terrorism, and was privacy and free speach, now they use any excluse to take from you your
                                                            privacy - that's what i think personally.

                                                                      If it is that someone uploads the front end of some bank and tries to procure stuff like personal info from the public - such as card numbers blah, - then, yea, there is a point to all this.

                                                                      HOWEVER! As usual, this has most likely nada to do with "real scamming" and is just one of these "we need to know" bullshit things from the US government.

                                                                      First, irrespective of what dribble the US govt may utter, - it is not a criminal offense to state incorrect information on any form unless there is an intention to decieve or commit some fraud. The fact that the US may have passed some laws like this has nothing to do with the rest of the world.

                                                                      Second, fortunately the US government is not the "manager" of the internet, much as tho it may like to be.

                                                                      Third, it is a pity the US has such a foul load of legislators that they apparently pass stupid laws in that country. The quote that "The law is an ass" has never been more appropriate.

                                                                      Finally, It has absolutely nothing to do with the US government what I put, or don't put, on some domain registration form. I never did come under the laws of the US and never will.

                                                                      All my domains are mainly in corporate names and located across the globe. Not one of these corporates will divulge *any* information about either domain names, biz activitites or contacts of the owners. It is a criminal offense within these countries to disclose such info.

                                                                      Stuff all that naive stupidity It's all for sheep that want to listen to it.

You don't think a scammer is going to have a PO box and a cell phone no. expressly created for the whois?? So you end up obliging people to give up their privacy TO THE WORLD because of some false notion that an accurate whois prevents scammers? Ha, that's a good one.

People have personal sites, hobby stuff, nothing to do with business. Should they set up corporations simply to run their stamp site or Miles Davis fansite?

So you end up obliging people to give up their privacy TO THE WORLD because of some false notion that an accurate whois prevents scammers? Ha, that's a good one.

                                                                                  KRL, get out of the office for a moment. Not everyone is using their web address for commerce, lol. People have personal sites, hobby stuff, nothing to do with business. Should they set up corporations simply to run their stamp site or Miles Davis fansite?

                                                                                  I'm always amazed how easily people become sheep, ready to give up their privacy for a few scammers.

                                                                                      Why would you want to make it that easy for someone to find out where you live? What if you can't afford an office? And what if you have children at home? Maybe if someone decides to stalk someone for whatever reason and he sees privacy enabled, he'll just give up and move on to someone else or something. I know there are other ways to find out an address, obviously, but why make it that easy? Why take chances with the lives of your family?

                                                                                      I wouldn't. (Not even for a Hun listing.)

That's a start right there.

                                                                                                  Why else would you hide it with fake ownership?

                                                                                                  Because I dont want any letters, emails, or for anyone to even know my name.


                                                                                                  Now, someone tell me, even if I pay with my credit card, or send a wire, watever, as long as I dont steal I'm not safe? If I pay for it but use a fake name and addy I can go to prison for 7 years?

There are places out there that let you register with paypal, so if you use fake info for paypal, then how would they find you. Not that I do this but it seems pretty funny that if your using fake info how are they going to find out.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
