Freaking WHOIS

So during winter break of my Sophomore year, Harry, who is in China, IM's me and tells me that he can't register harryzhong.com, because China's firewall prevents him from going through with the transaction. Since I'm a nice guy, I register the domain name for him, and fill our the appropriate information so he can start building his website.

Now, a few years later, I've learned about WHOIS and lo and behold, if you do a search for harryzhong.com, this pops up:
