Randy,

This month alone there will probably be around 32,000
unique phishing sites created with an average lifespan
of 3.8 days.  These sites this month will defraud
customers out of over $26,000,000.

There are some that will argue that their privacy is
more important than a government's right to
expeditiously deal with criminals.  I am not in that
camp.

WHOIS is a legitimate tool being used by groups such
as the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), law
enforcement, and by organizations such as the American
Red Cross (that uses WHOIS in pursuing the registrants
of fraudulent charity or disaster relief websites).

These groups collectively have made proper use of a
service that has long been publicly available.  To
curtail, restrict, limit or delay their use of this
service is not in Society's best interest.
