Is this true?
This has been the subject of fierce debate in the anti-spamming community (of
which I am a member), as a result of spamming by people who have obtained
official whois databases.
Can someone at OPenSRS please confirm/deny (delete as appropriate) that they
have/have not (delete as appropriate) sold their customer whois database for
commercial purposes - e.g. UCE/spamming?
