         Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the District of Arizona
        David G. Campbell, District Judge, Presiding

                    Argued and Submitted
          June 8, 2009—San Francisco, California

                    Filed October 28, 2009

        Before: Procter Hug, Jr., Betty B. Fletcher and
            Michael Daly Hawkins, Circuit Judges.

                Opinion by Judge B. Fletcher

Cloaking and false domain registration for the criminal aspect of the
CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.  For those that don't get the connection, the
Civil and Criminal requirements are almost the same verbiage.

18 U.S.C. § 1037(a)(3). Section 1037(a)(4) provides:
     Whoever, in or affecting interstate or foreign com-
     merce, knowingly— . . . . registers, using informa-
     tion that materially falsifies the identity of the actual
     registrant, for five or more electronic mail accounts
     or online user accounts or two or more domain
     names, and intentionally initiates the transmission of
     multiple commercial electronic mail messages from
     any combination of such accounts or domain names
     . . . shall be punished . . . .

"We fail to perceive any vagueness on this point. Based on the plain
meaning of the relevant terms discussed above, private registration for
the purpose of concealing the actual registrant’s identity would
constitute “material falsification.”"
