It is not vigilante justice to know the identity of the owner of a domain name.
Oh yes indeed it is. It is most definitely vigilante action to take away the right of an accused - merely on the basis of that accusation. In this case the rights are those of privacy and due process.
Oh no. You are inserting a right here where there is none. The right to privacy regarding the ownership of a domain name. Anonymous speech does not equate to anonymous domain name registration. The registration of a domain requires the owner of the domain to correctly identify oneself to the public when registering the domain name.
