OK... I'll nibble.
I don't think you get this more than anyone else because
of your stance. But perhaps that will change now that
you've publically declared your resistance. ;-)
It's incredibly important that there be accurate
contact information for a domain. If you don't want to
list any one person, for a particular role, you may opt
to use role accounts. Unless I've misread and
misunderstood the policy, neither the contacts nor the
registrant need be a natural person. Contacts can be
role accounts and the registrant can certainly be a
legal entity instead of an individual.
Additionally, if you have privacy concerns (which I can
certainly understand and respect), many Registrars offer
proxy contact options for a nominal fee.
