Re: Is it illegal to lie about your WHOIS info
'...When you register a domain, your name, address, email address and phone number are immediately made available to anyone who wants to see them. All your personal information is exposed 24 hours a day, everyday, to anyone, anywhere.
If you register your domain with GoDaddy you can change this by registering a private ("unlisted") registration through Domains By Proxy® (their affiliate company), so that registering a domain name doesn't mean sacrificing your privacy.
All my websites are registered this way. However, if a subpoena is served to GoDaddy because of suspected Internet crime or fraud, they are obliged by law and will release the true registration details to the authorities.
At the moment, if you register or transfer five domain names or more to GoDaddy you will get free privacy on every domain you register.
(Not available for the following domain names: .us .ca .asia .ag .com.ag .net.ag .org.ag .am .at .be .cn .com.cn .org.cn .net.cn .de .eu .fm .gs .jobs .jp .ms .nu .co.nz .net.nz .org.nz .tc .tw .com.tw .org.tw .idv.tw .co.uk .me.uk .org.uk .vg)
