[NA-Discuss] Getting the WHOIS word out to users

[RJGlass | America@Large]

Its not difficult, Bret.  The only issue is convincing
ICANN/Registries/Registrars that it's important to take that view and make
it so.  If the data is kept private, the registrars would of course still be
able to contact their customers and 'law enforcement' would still be able to
issue warrants to obtain that data.

To jump on the bandwagon, in the post 9-11 era, it is much easier for law
enforcement and such to obtain warrants and data as they no longer have to
prove anything, rather just make a request.

Of course there will still be abuses.  Registrants that want to hide will
still give false data, law enforcement will still be wrong half the time,
and the real thieves will still hack into the systems and steal the data.
But at least it won't be readily available to everyone for global abuse.
