Good point, Ernie. But one thing about those accessible documents. If you remember the early days of the Internet, some governments put ALL that info online. After a while, they realized it should be limited and some was removed. If you want to get the data, you have to go to some office or somehow request the info in person.
As far as protected WHOIS services, I don’t know how it works, but if someone is doing the bad stuff that you describe online, isn’t there already a way for whoever needs to stop them to do so? Due process, court orders, and all that?
I don’t think we should ALL have to give up that just because of a few bad people online.
