My experience is that you can't get the information if you want it. However if you were to go and look for it on someone else you didn't really care about, you would have it all. Also, it all depends on who you are to start with. I find that if I go to register a domain most any place I try to register offers free whois privacy, so I usually put it on, but I definitely agree it's not worth paying for. If someone wants to find out who you are and they know very much about computers, they can probably find out. Unless you're from the underground, you probably really don't need that kind of privacy anyway.
