yeah. This is legal. But it does suck. The new wave is domain cashparking. It sucks because people are just gobbling domains just to gobble when they could be used for real content. Sux. What a waste of internet. Of course commercial sector ruins everything it touches in the name of money.

They charge extra for it. People do this so spam bots will not harvest their email on their domain registration. I personally don't think it is a good idea unless someone wants to do something wrong with the domain but that is just my opinion. If the people who own those domains are doing something wrong like spamming your blog I think you can contact the registrar and tell them. They should either give you the contact information or do something about the domain owner themselves. I know Godaddy would probably be helpful because they are a pretty good company but don't know about these companies since I don't deal with them myself.

Hi, I recently noticed some spam comments to my blog. Upon looking at the link they were linking back to it is an aggregation of various people RSS from their blogs. Upon examining the domains and their whois info they all appear to be registered with ProtectFly. Their whois information does not give out the contact details of the domain owner. Some random looking email address, that I guess might forward back to the real owner. Is this non-disclosure of the contact details legal? Am I missing some method to find the correct info?
