While I would love to do that it just isn't feasible for me and probably most others. ICANN really needs to provide better controls to avoid resorting to such workarounds.

Not only ICANN but the whole financial world. Shell corporations provide no real use other than hiding money and ownership.

That's not true at all. Corporations have tons of legitimate uses, including reducing liability.

They also sell gasoline.

I've thought of checking that... Instead of Domains By Proxy LLC or whatever legally holding your account, setup an offshore shell corporation and use that to register my domains, becoming my own whoisguard in the process. It's going to be more expensive than these services, but the domains stay under your full control and you can keep your personal info private.

Sounds expensive, though.
