Bill Would Criminalize False Domain Name Registrations

Internet users who knowingly submit incorrect contact information when
registering Web addresses could face up to five years in jail under
legislation introduced in the House of Representatives this week.

Proposed by Reps. Howard Coble (R-N.C.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the
legislation would make it a crime to - "knowingly and with intent to
defraud" - submit false information to an Internet domain name seller.

Coble and Berman are the chairman and ranking Democrat, respectively, of the
House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts the Internet and
Intellectual Property.

Law enforcers have long bemoaned the reliability - or lack thereof - of the
customer information maintained by Internet registrars in their "WHOIS"
databases.

Cybersquatters and other electronic ne'er-do-wells often submit false names
and contact numbers when registering Internet addresses.

The Coble-Berman bill allows for fines and jail sentences up to five years
for violators.
