Default Do you give your real address or fake address

I really dislike the part of domain name registration policy, especially the TLDs such as .com, .net etc that forces you to give you home address as part of the registration information.
If you do not want you personal information displayed, the registration company then milk that by charging you money to with hold your address, the whole set up really sucks because if you do not pay the "ransome" demanded by your registrar, you gets loads of junk mails and undesirable people can also just do a whois on your domain to find your details.
What do you think of this or how do you get around it?

I couldn't agree any more,

I think it would be best if there was a opportunity, or more like an option for the users to decide if they wish to have their information available to the public. I usually register my names at Namecheap, giving me free Whois Guard for each domain. Although, I enter my real address, as I believe you can lose your domain if you enter fake data, can someone verify this?

I usually enable it, although the whoisguard does not apply for .eu domains, at least not yet.

Regards,
Meti

For domains which have legal, clean content :
Yes, I put real info while registering such domains.

For domain with adult content in it :
Nope. I usually put some fake name/address while registering the domain.
Because i would rather let go of the domain, than being sued for creating such sites in India.

Yep. sadly.

Law makers here are complete idiots.
They don't understand that this business has great money making power.

They should legalize this business and then tax it !

[ In India running an adult domain >tell me worst possible thing can happen ? ]

In UK adult sites have various categories, there is soft porn, port, hard core, extreme etc etc. I think soft port is okay in the UK but the extreme stuff are illegal to host on a server in the UK.

I believe there is an option for "private" domain registration here in US and "whois" database will display registrars info instead of yours. I never used it though and can not say for sure if there are any additional fees involved with it.

I think it very much depends of the registrar you use, I know for a fact that many registrar do charge you for the so call privacy option, almost as much as the domain name registration fee per year.
