Every domain name has so-called “social” information associated with it. It consists for example of the holder’s name, the registrar, the contact persons’ email addresses, the date of creation, etc. This social information is distinct from the more technical information found in the DNS (Domain Name System)1. The information is partly public and can be obtained by any curious user , be it a lawyer preparing an action against the domain holder, a journalist writing an article, a person wishing to report a technical problem or simply an interested third party. |
