I see that 56trf5.com is a real domain. Does this mean that the domain
name registries and DNS are now being polluted with piles of garbage
entries in the same way that Google searches have been polluted with
tons of pages full of nothing but search keywords and ads?

Yes.  Hadn't you noticed?

Statistically speaking there are now more domains with fake contact
records than there are with genuine contact records, and certain
registrars have been allowing new domains to be registered using
contact addresses that have previously been proved to be bogus.
