ephan172, it's anonymity from publicly accessible means. (total blackout would consider making illegal/fake accounts, which is not the case here). I can secure my whois data, but can I secure my payment account? I have two use examples: ie: you sell items you'd rather not to be linked to you in any way (the same way people want discrete packaging when buying certain personal items) ie2: it's a grey area business, such as porn sites (can you completely hide your personal identity when receiving online payments?)

My customers see the name of my company on their credit card statements, not my name. Use a mail forwarding service or virtual office if you need to add a further layer of abstraction.
