Why?  In Australia and to the best of my knowledge, in the USA, there
isn't any legislation that has similar penalties for business
name/company registrations.  Aside from the incorrect supply of
information pertaining to the registration.

So why would it be good thinking to only target the online domain name
registrations.

Porn site owners who use domain names likely to entice children could
be fined and imprisoned under legislation introduced in the U.S. House
of Representatives on Thursday.

The "Truth in Domain Names Act," would make it a crime to use a
misleading Web site name to trick minors into visiting pornographic
Web sites.

The legislation would outlaw porn sites with seemingly benign names,
such as www.teens.com, www.cheerleaders.com, and www.whitehouse.com.

"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."
