US court says WHOIS Privacy Considered “Material Falsification”
by Evan Leibovitch Jan. 19, 2010

Jan. 19, 2010

Finally, a little common sense and a nice precedent. A US court has determined that the act of spamming, combined with using a whois privacy serve, contravenes the country's "CAN SPAM" laws. It ruled that the use of a whois privacy service constitutes a deliberate attempt to mislead internet users. http://www.domainnamenews.com/legal-issues/whois-privacy-material-falsifica… -- Evan Leibovitch evan(a)telly.org
