Something I would point out is that when you purchase something online you are generally doing so through a billing company and your agreement is with them rather than the owner of the site, so if you have a problem it will be handled in accordance with the conditions of the billing companies that almost always side with the customer.
I have been selling eBooks online for several years and always hidden my contact details in the Who Is database simply because I don’t want every person on the planet having direct access to my home address or calling me at 3.00am because they have deleted an ebook from their hard drive. If you are a photographer for example you also may not want to advertise the address where you keep lots of expensive equipment.
The spammers and the scammers are clearly a problem but they probably purchased their domains using stolen credit cards so you be sure they will find ways around this.
