Based on a number of non-related examples, I've seen this problem licked elsewhere, through the requirement for user-specific API keys. The issuance and use of said keys is dependent on the recipients' agreeing to the appropriate ToS. While I'm arguing that WHOIS data should be accurate and available, I do not see registration and ToS acceptance as being an unreasonable barrier to access. - Evan
