I have a philisophical issue with having to pay for someone to flick a switch so that my personal information is not visible to the whole world. I originally had GoDaddy add privacy for no charge in bulk batches to my domains and now that they are coming up for renewal I have discovered that DomainsbyProxy took the liberty of creating seven different accounts for me. Normally that would be moderately inconvenient, but they also won't reset any of my passwords without me faxing identification and a domain list for each account number, because they somehow have no record of my email address even though I have the original welcome message from them to my email address saved. I started using a different Registrar in November which allows me to change the whois privacy myself, at my convenience, and the cost is free. As a Canadian registrant I think this is great news.
