Do you guys think it is OK or Stupid to have incorrect and/or no info at all in your domain's WHOIS record, especially if your domain is visited by thousands of interested visitors every day?

Media.info said:Heh, RJ changed the WHOIS of namepros.com after i started this thread. Something to think about
-RJ- said:My understanding is that this is perfectly fine and Verisign allows this. In fact I believe they may have originated this practice which has become common among most large companies. For reference examples, please check the WHOIS information of the following domain names: verisign.com, networksolutions.com, enom.com. Do they all have invalid WHOIS?
If anyone would like to comment on the legality (or stupidity) of this, please do share your input.

indicate any contacts as "Domain Administrator" or anything like that in their
respective WHOIS lookups.
Whois Record Blocking on Whois.sc said:We encourage people to keep acurate whois records, ICANN's Policy allows for the deletion of domains that don't have acurate whois information. To globally protect whois record we encourage the use of PO Boxes, Business Addresses, or a private registration service such as GoDaddy's Domains By Proxy. If privacy is an issue, take your personal information seriously. Use a safe mail address. However don't list false information or your domain may be deleted.
