The 9th circuit has ruled that the section 3.7.7.3 of the registrar/registrant contract has no meaning. This is a result of the no third party beneficiary provision of section 5.10 of the contract. This not only eliminates the issue for spam liability, but the issue for copyright or trademark infringement. Under the 9th circuit interpretation, I can use domains by proxy to hide my identity when I register and profit from barbiedoll.com to host pirated movies, despite being provided this evidence, that Domains has no requirement to disclose this information. http://www.scribd.com/doc/45487838/Balsam-v-Tucows-No-09-17625-9th-Cir-Dec-1...
