false domain registration info

http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/176371.html

well I'm fucked then... cuz I got a shitload of domains all with bogus info.

ahahahahshshsgshn,oop;90 :1orglaugh

No worries there, man - they can't charge you for something that wasn't a crime when you did it. That's (fortunately) black letter law. I believe the legal principle is called "ex post facto", but my latin sucks, and I could be confusing it with another bit of legalese...

now, I got a question.... (since I don't have time to sit and read through that whole fucking article).....

are they talking about bogus info as in, entering bogus credit card stuff and the info you need to register it, or bogus info in your whois data?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Internet users who knowingly submit incorrect contact information when registering Web addresses could face up to five years in jail under legislation introduced in the House of Representatives this week.
Proposed by Reps. Howard Coble (R-N.C.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the legislation would make it a crime to - "knowingly and with intent to defraud" - submit false information to an Internet domain name seller.

Coble and Berman are the chairman and ranking Democrat, respectively, of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts the Internet and Intellectual Property.

Law enforcers have long bemoaned the reliability - or lack thereof - of the customer information maintained by Internet registrars in their "WHOIS" databases.

Cybersquatters and other electronic ne'er-do-wells often submit false names and contact numbers when registering Internet addresses.

The Coble-Berman bill allows for fines and jail sentences up to five years for violators.

no amp, they are talking about you, me and a lot of other ppl are fucked is that they are saying hahahaha

fuck 'em..... when they can secure my privacy instead of dishing it out to every fucking schmoe that runs a whois on me, I'll stop entering bogus info.....

ya hear me??? FUCK 'EM!!!!!

that's very interesting! thanks for the link!!

yeh fuck the law.. =/

also - "in an attempt to defraud"

so if i register:

cheap-dirty-sluts-for-sale-at-low-prices.com

with false info id be ok, cos im not attempting to defraud anyone? hmmmmmmmmz

it's NOT the law..... fuck those assholes.

it'll never pass.......

and even if it does.... there are workarounds to it.... and I will use them until they can secure my privacy. End of fucking story.

I guess I would goto jail... As all my domains are reg.
with my old address, phone....

oh well I think, can't remember but I've just got 5 I think... so I get 25 years.... am 57 now so I'll be 82 when I get
out... hmmmm

Shit I might not be able to even get a hardon at 82.....

I better get all my fucking done....... Because I will just keep on keeping on... I'll never use the proper info again to
Reg. a domain... was a mistake in the 1st place.... Wonder are they going to go over to Russia and get'm..... How
about UK,,,,,

Someone posted about this before.......

ain't no way they can enforce it even if it does pass, which I really do not think it will......

Shit that's what we need more useless laws they can't even get cp off the Net.... and they are going to track down
people that use fake address, and phone numbers....

Just a BIG waste of tax $$ that they have wasted just studying the dam shit much less introducing a law.

Do you really think they will put you in jail for not giving your correct street address and email address.... I don't...

Hell they have to let drug dealers out now because the dam jails are full.... They build more jails... and there full the day they cut the fucking ribbon...

They don't what my white ass in jail nor yours for something like this.....

Every day these idiots introduce some stupid new Internet law. How many of them have ever been on the web? Maybe half, maybe.

I'm sure they blame terrorism on the need for this law, just like all the other stupid new proposals. It's all "terrorism". Bullshit.
