Again, I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s a useful practice to use real people’s info for precisely situations like this.

Step 1) register foo.com Step 2) make email address [email protected] Step 3) register bar.com using [email protected] as contact info. Include contact info for John Doe with a real address and random phone number

This meets Whois requirements and makes it a bit harder for any real lookups. It’s easier than providing wholly fake info because journalists will Lee dogging. When journalists contact John Doe who denies owning bar.com then they will work it like an uncooperative subject.
