The realities of life are that at some point you're going to have to give out your personal information. From a fragment of that it's pretty easy to reconstruct the rest. The only thing the internet really changes is using a browser vs. going down to the courthouse. Finding a name, address and phone number are not really a big deal. Life is far better knowing lots of people than it is knowing a few people. My time is worth far more than anything I could hope to gain from tracking down someone who sends me email I don't want. I'd much rather just click the Spam button and get on interacting with the wonderful people in my life. "OMG, someone on the internet found my name, address, and phone number. I don't know how I could go on living my life dealing with phone calls and mail, my life has been completely destroyed!" If this person could put my name, phone number and address infront of every person on the planet I'd gladly pay for that service, it would be extremely valuable having 7 billion people know how to reach me.
