Not a big issue if you are legit.

It's this attitude that is permitting a climate that is making identity theft so much easier, and identity theft usually comes juxtaposed with fraud.
Just take time to think through this scenario logically. Failing to present ID and show a utility bill doesn't make the act of being an affiliate webmaster any worse. Showing ID doesn't make it any better. Deal with the underlying activity. Either something is a criminal act (i.e. it violates another person's rights) and should be banned/outlawed period, or something isn't a criminal act. No amount of identification should make a criminal act legal. And something that isn't criminal shouldn't be illegal for merely failing to follow some arbitrary requirement that helps facilitate ID theft.
What you are saying is not that you support more honest amongst webmasters. You support eliminating other webmasters (your competition) for failing to follow some BS rule.
