What I do dispute is that public WHOIS plays the role some people claim it plays.
When I ask about WHOIS's real value, what I mostly hear is somewhere between "the sky is falling", "there are patterns", "don't you dare to question us", and "we need to fight online crime at all cost." And that really doesn't cut it as an argument and makes me respond sarcastically.
Then you aren't listening, or hearing what I say. I have offered to produce investigators who plainly say they need this data. Tell me when and where and I will make it happen. -- == Neil Schwartzman Chair, Board of Directors CAUCE Canada: The Canadian Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email Canada: +1 (514) 485-9713 US: +1 (303) 800 6345 UK: 020 8144 6345 Skype: spamfighter666 Fax: +1 (419) 793-0430 [AIM / MSN / Yahoo!]: CAUCECanada [Web]: http://cauce.ca See http://stopspamhere.ca for ways to prevent spam from hitting your inbox.
