I don’t want to start a long discussion on this topic, but only point out that a gated access designed right will not stop any of you from doing the same work as I see it.

What I don't feel gets sufficient appreciation is that having access to whois data helps investigate and PREVENT large security and privacy risks. For instance, the recent malware outbreak that started in Ukraine (Petya/NotPetya). I can be more explicit on that when its over.

One thing I can assure you having done the lions’ share of the data “crunching” is that whois was an invaluable part of being able to deliver various stats, classify fraudulent domains vs. compromised ones, and determine providers of subdomain reselling services to name a few.  It was necessary to really make sense out of a lot of this data to deliver value to the community around how these activities are affecting various parties in the ecosystem.
