Looks like they are trying to make using fake info on whois a crime.

Not sure how this affect someone not in the US and I'm not sure if we want the government up are ass on this, but it would be nice to do a whois on spammers and cheats and get their real info.

That's the problem with our gov't - they think the internet is completely based here in the US

It sounds like typical election year blustering. Politicians know what rhetoric pushes their constituents buttons.

After the election things return to normal.

Surfn - that really all depends on who's in the White House & who's got control of Congress.

Just bloody vote - 7.5% of the population + 1 required to elect your president... which would be why they only cater to 7.5% of the population...

False info on Whois should be a crime, I can understand the Anonymous option, but bullshit info is bullshit, tracking down assholes for their crimes is 10x harder with false info.
