Supposing you used fake information as a domain registrant but left a valid email address up. How likely would it be that you'd lose your domain name?
Wouldn't you just be contacted by ICANN or your registrar if someone were to report your domain for incorrect whois information? I'd expect them just to tell me to put correct information up. Of course, if I didn't respond, they'd drop my domain name.
It irritates that we are expected to put our real information in a domain name's whois. I've done that with my domain names with the exception of the phone numbers which I will not do.
Obviously I give my registrar real information for billing purposes, but sometimes I'd like to remain anonymous. I really don't want to pay my registrar to hide my whois information.
Comments? Opinions?
