>>Similar someone (I think you Paul) said there is no correlation between
IP address and getting personal data (something along that line) - thats
wrong too, as the RIR's hold records, LIRs populate that date held by RIRs
and depending on how and when this was updated, could provide personal
information (more likely company / corporate info) because in the old days
(talking 20 years ago now) records and even 30 years ago for ARIN personal
information could have been used.
I am glad you brought up IP whois records, because an interesting situation
is happening with them right now. Now that ipv4 space is extremely valuable
and many ranges are neglected, groups have taken to hijacking neglected
space and sell them for tens of thousands of dollars. IP whois is one of
the very few audit trails available to people who don't want to buy stolen
goods.
Domains are generally not as valuable, but there is another debate here- it
is not purely an issue of privacy vs security. It is an issue of privacy vs
the concept of property ownership. If your identity is not associated with
your domain in any verifiable way, do you have a valid claim to the
property? If it is all up to the registrar saying "trust me", what
assurances exist against a hack, hijack, ownership dispute, or malicious
registrar?
Broader issues exist than only privacy. The overemphasis on privacy by this
group is beyond absurd
