 | Proposed by Reps. Howard Coble (R-N.C.) and Howard Berman
 | (D-Calif.), the legislation would make it a crime to - "knowingly
 | and with intent to defraud" - submit false information to an
 | Internet domain name seller. 

 | Law enforcers have long bemoaned the reliability - or lack
 | thereof - of the customer information maintained by Internet
 | registrars in their "WHOIS" databases.
