Judging from the amount of abuse and spam out there, it is also the #1
valued resource of spammers, cyber criminals, nigerian princes, domain
slammers ,etc etc.
And that leads to the question: Is it really worth giving up the private
data of all registrants to whoever wants it just to catch a few bad guys?
And to answer that: I'd rather see a few criminals uncaught if that
means the innocent majority will be that much less at risk to be victimized.
Best,
Volker
