Stony Stevenson writes "The seven-year-old battle over access to WHOIS data — the names, street addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of those who have registered Internet domains — remains a stalemate this week, leaving reforms undone.
The conflict pits individuals and groups that favor privacy protections against organizations and law enforcement agencies that favor data access to police intellectual property and to curtail cybercrime. Caught in the middle are Internet domain registrars that have to balance customer data protection with data access requirements mandated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names' (ICANN) Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA)."
