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.

Adapt or die and we are ALL in competition with each other. But that is not my point here. Rather it is the fact that you are over-complaining about legitimate documentation requests. If no big deal, a BS rule, then comply and carry on with your business.
Or, complain on a Industry board where you have zero standing (or post counts) and are being seen as someone who is incapable of complying, not making some righteous stand on privacy.
No ID? No valid address? No bueno, no moolah.
