Hi Volker,
Tx for Andrew (Allemann)'s article. I include a few quotes below. Best,
Kathy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is one of the reasons big corporations use whois privacy. They
register some defensive domain names and don't want to call attention to
it. The other big reason is that they don't want to tip off their new
product plans.
One of the biggest suppliers of whois privacy services for these
companies is brand protection company Mark Monitor, which registers
domains for clients under then name DNStination Inc.
When ISIS (the payments company) started registering domains
<http://domainnamewire.com/2014/09/03/isis-chooses-softcard/> for a
brand change, it used whois privacy.
When Bank of America registered hundreds
<http://domainnamewire.com/2010/12/20/bank-of-america-wants-you-to-know-its-executives-dont-suck/>
of "sucks" and "blows" domain names for its executives, it used whois
privacy.
And when Proactiv wanted to make its recall as quiet as possible

it used whois privacy."
