Though that has pretty much been stopped by most registrars by making you enter those crazy looking numbers to get that info. Then again, probably some who wish to stay anonymous for less than honorable reasons.

John...You cannot hide behind a P.O. Box address If you are doing business out of that Box. If I wanted the street address and name of the person who rented that box all I would have to do is ask the Postmaster. If it is not a business P.O. Box then it would take a court order to get the info...
