I just received another email... looks like elbook.com has 15 days to correct their whois information or it will be cancelled as well, after I pushed through to have this investigated by some private parties.
You might be asking... "Why is this important? Why go after the domain names?"
If the whois information is false (which violates the new ICANN regulations), nobody can contact the fraudulent person who owns and operates the domain.
If he doesn't put in valid information, his domain is cancelled, stopping the fraud.
If he DOES put in valid information, he can now be located, served, and prosecuted.
Its a double-edged sword which benefits the publishers in either case.
