I might add that while googling this issue, it seems that this might 
be a popular trick for obtaining somebody else's domain name or just 
basically tarnishing a good guy or group.

Godaddy apparently can shut down a domain name on a whim and not 
release it back to the "owner" who "failed to comply" or "got a 
complaint that his WhoIs record didn't Seem to be valid".  Those are 
basically the words they used.  Can you believe this?
