Whois Abuse Still Out of Control
It's still easy to try to steal an identity with false whois information. There 
are rules against it and ICANN pretends to enforce them, but I personally know

Larry Seltzer Struggles with “Whois Identity Theft”
I’ve heard people complain about “whois identity theft” before. Essentially, 
this is when someone uses your name on their whois record. You can imagine how 
this could potentially be troubling for you, depending on the domain name. But 
in the case of eWeek writer Larry Seltzer, the “identity thief” went several 
steps further.

Who manages the internet?
We use it every day, but how much do we really know about the internet? Looking 
into its innards illustrates why it is referred to as a "net" or "web." One 
node leads to another, interconnected while appearing autonomous. Acronyms 
abound: ICANN, IANA, DNS, ISP, TLD, IGF, NIC and NIXI - knick knack paddywhack,

that statute.

Outdated Whois Information Might Lead to False Light Tort: Meyerkord v. 
Zipatoni by Eric Goldman
It's a late entry, but this opinion may be a dark horse candidate for the most 
bizarre case of 2008. Meyerkord was a Zipatoni employee and listed as the 
registrant on domain names at Zipatoni's Register.com account. Meyerkord left 
in 2003. In 2006, Zipatoni ran an astroturfing viral campaign for Sony to 
promote the Play Station Portable at the domain alliwantforxmasisapsp.com... 
Unfortunately for Sony -- and Meyerkord -- the campaign did not go well.

in a number of the 12 different scripts in use there. This is going to

vn: Why registering domain names is crucial
Unique internet domain names are registered on a first-come, first-served 
basis. Besides being used to locate an address on the internet, in place of a 
hard-to-remember numeric serial chain, domain names are a superb marketing 
tool, a method to telegraph information about the business or service being 
offered. As a consequence, a domain name is a highly valuable resource for any 
company.
