Hi Mike,
I'm not sure if you already received a reply on this one that fully
explains what has been done.
No one 'hacked' anything. You'll note that a root whois comes up with two
records:
4CHEAPDOMAINS.NET.REALLY.WANTS.TO.BE.CANADIAN.ORG
4CHEAPDOMAINS.NET
We all know what '4CHEAPDOMAINS.NET' is -- that's you. Here's the whois
output direct from whois.opensrs.net:

Now, let's disect 4CHEAPDOMAINS.NET.REALLY.WANTS.TO.BE.CANADIAN.ORG.
Here's the whois record:
Whois Server Version 1.3
Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
Server Name: 4CHEAPDOMAINS.NET.REALLY.WANTS.TO.BE.CANADIAN.ORG
IP Address: 216.99.144.117
Registrar: TUCOWS, INC.
Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
Referral URL: http://www.opensrs.org
>>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 05:14:42 EST <<<
The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.
The SLD on this is "CANADIAN.ORG" which means that the person who
delegated this nameserver has control over that domain (or at least
should... not sure if there are registrars that don't require this one).
We can see their domain record here:

That would be who added 4CHEAPDOMAINS.NET.REALLY.WANTS.TO.BE.CANADIAN.ORG
to the whois. You *could* contact them, but seeing as there really isn't
any sort of defamation or other issue going on, I don't think you could
force them to take it out.
Hope this helps... if you are still having trouble understanding this
issue, e-mail me off-list or phone me.
Thanks,
