Blacklisted Reason: Bogus whois

I can understand both sides in this discussion:

· the LL (or TGP owner) who tries to check and cross-check all information supplied by the submitter in an effort to keep his listings clean.
With any password or trade application I usually check http://www.whois.sc/ , alexa, and some other sources.

· and coming from Germany (I don't live there anymore) I know about quite a few adult webmasters who got into trouble big time because they didn't lock all their pages with an Adult Verification System, as the German laws require. One guy I know lost all his equipment (worth about $12k), all his licensed content, and is still fighting a lenghty court battle due to this.
So there are many EU webmasters who either have fantasy WHOIS registrations, or in case of bigger sites a bogus overseas company, to run their adult sites - and I guess it's their only option to keep doing this over several years without being shut down!

= I guess this is hard to comprehend for people who don't face problems like this (again - both sides: submitters and reviewers)
