I received some SPAM today that included the following information: ----------- We offer a product that will let you develop a customer base for your business in no time. We have compiled information over the Internet on every US business. One single CD contains data on 12 million US companies - sorted by Yellow Pages Categories and SIC Codes. [clip] As a bonus we include complete information on 5 mln US Domain Names Owners with email addresses from WHOIS databases. Each record contains the following data: Domain Name, Company Name, Registrant Name, Registrant Email, Registrant Address, Phone and Fax numbers. ----------- Is reselling this whois data legal? Even if they purchased the whois database, is this something they can do? Should I be forwarding this to someone?
