The funny thing is, the new rules won't do anything to stop domain-name squatters or phony
whois data. I mean, what's stopping a small company in, say, Russia, from registering domain
names on behalf of squatter clients? The Russian company would use its true contact info in
the whois entry (and would tell anyone trying to use that contact info to go to hell), while
the owners of the content pointed to by the domain name would remain anonymous.

...or in America, and register/host/whatever Caucasian pro-Islamic propaganda.  It'd be so
much politically correct, *yeah*.

Anyways, trying to solve organization problems in technological plane is usually
counter-productive.
