The shitstorm scenario of 2257

Local zoning authorities show up to fine or remove webmaster from residence for "illegally operating a business in a residentially-zoned area."

Lassitar,

I wanted to point out that for quite some time now it has been illegal to post non-true domain information. If you register a domain you have to put your real name and address on it. This has been a longtime understanding for american webmasters.

It is not the security risk to myself I mind. I knew that when I signed up for this job.

it is the security risk to those who become my wards due to 2257 law.

As webmasters..
You can enlist private whois so nosy people are not able to access your domain info. People who want to reach you through your domain are instructed to email you through the registrar. So much safer than posting your HOME ADDRESS your websites.

Plus, you are not required to list your contact information where you work 20 hours a week on your domain. A lawyer, or office addy will suffice.. with these rules.. you can't. That's different.

Since there are a lot of gallery posters here, I thought I'd mention that the Hun doesn't take galleries from domains that are listed privately like Domains By Proxy. There might be other places that interpret a desire for privacy as being shady, too.
