No I'm not a spammer or doing anything illegal. I've been online for 3 years with my sites and this is the first time I've been notified to update my info or risk losing my domain.
Privacy is important to me and I don't think it should be mandatory that EVERY PERSON on the net have access to my name, phone, address etc. on whois. Don't you agree?
BTW went to the IMPA.org site. Good job! Do you know Brandon from fightthepatent.com? You both have similar goals.

Incorporate. It's that simple. Domains are leased to you and part of the terms that you agree to when you lease a domain are that you'll provide accurate contact information. There are many reasons for this, some of them posted above.
There are some domain registrars that have so-called anonymous whois info services; you might look into one of those. But really, if you're worried about personal information getting out (and that's a legitimate concern in any industry) then incorporate and use a business address/phone for contact info. It's commonly done.
I'm not involved with IMPA in any way shape or form other than I believe in what they're doing and want to draw attention to their site.
