it seems like you're conflating a bunch of different issues and arguing with straw men. (1) functional contact information is not necessarily a surveillance/enforcement tool: it isn't hard to imagine a privacy-oriented proxy service that *expedites* contact with a registrant. (2) as for 'hurting the internet,' back to usenet with you, where you can read up on the venerable distinction between 'abuse *of* the net' and 'abuse *on* the net': TM infractions, real or perceived, are not abuse *of* the net. (3) i didn't say that whois data should 'be private,' whatever that means -- obviously, *someone* knows that info; the questions have to do, rather, with the latitude users, registrars, registries, and others might have to make access to that data difficult. (4) not all registration info is 'business identification data.' if D&B want to publish a commercial company's info, fine, or if guidestar wants to public a noncommercial organization's financials, that's fine too -- but that doesn't automagically disappear the many, *many*, MANY domains registered by individuals for personal use.
cheers,
