In fact, the ability to provide completely bogus information to the
Internic has hampered many an effort by anti-spammers to track down the
owner of a domain. I agree that the ability to trawl the database by
spammers is a problem that needs to be addressed, but I don't see that
hiding it behind privacy provisions is the best answer.

By way of analogy the ASC makes similar information available to the
public for company names as do other corporate registries around the
planet.
