[SAGE] How nice...not. "Fresh WhoIs data (emails, phones, etc.) on sale!"

[Strata R Chalup <strata@virtual.net>]

Got a spam today in some folks at "sales@outhosted.com" are
claiming to have done a registry crawl in mid-December 2003.  They
don't say which registry, but claim to be selling info on 214K
registrants, including phone and address data.

I thought this sort of thing was explicitly prohibited by most of
the current registrars, and that they had (albeit simple) throttles
to prevent multiple queries of that crawling sort.  Oh yes, and
the claim is that these wingnuts will refresh the data quarterly.

Any point in barking up this particular tree? Ie, has anyone here
seen registrars make any attempt to go after such folks?  Cynically
I'm assuming that there's a better chance nowadays-- simply because
so many registrars will sell you marketing data themselves, so now
it's theft from their viewpoint (rolls eyes).
