Often. Or you can look at the WHOIS for a bunch of domains to see that they're the same guy, since even when they lie, there's a pattern to the lies. >Isn't the problem with domain anonymity that it increases the cost of >enforcement? Not just that, in some cases it makes enforcement impossible, since bad guys hop from domain to domain. >Is there a way to decrease the cost of enforcement, and to increase >leverage over abusive domains, while still allowing private >registration? Sure. Do what .CA does, limit proxies to natural people, and remove the proxy if the domain is used for commercial purposes.
