How waterproof are anonymous domain regsitrations?

I am currently facing an issue with one of my domains. I used it as a jumpstation with links to some brothels and escorts in a certain country as well as ads to related pornsites.

The title would be something like foreigntown-sexguide.com. Since I frequently travel to this foreign country, I just saw a big newsmagazine on TV where they made a big thing out of my site ... promoting porn and prostitution in that clean neighbourhood, etc. and they were going to take legal steps against the webmaster ... poor me

because I abused the name of their town to scroupulously give them a bad reputation.

I have the domain registration data protected privately, that means the registrar's name shows up in the whois records, only. Anybody have experiences with the privacy policies of these services? Under what circumstances will they give out my info?
