I think the term is Identity Cloning and Concealment. I wonder if there is someway to attack this problem legally from that angle. It could simply be a cease and desist letter from a lawyer with a threat to pursue in court under a claim of identity theft. Here in Canada, I think the maximum term in prison is ten years. I'm not sure about the US. This might be enough to scare the person into changing the whois records. If you can track down the persons mailing address, that is. Of course, you would want to speak with a lawyer about this to make sure the facts are straight ;-) Michael This seems to me to be a kind of identity theft.
