> I don't really want to put my name and address up on apps I throw up on the store

As a customer I really want the ability to sue someone who does me wrong, call them out publicly, or at least avoid their products. In no way is it reasonable that someone should want to stay anonymous while selling me something (or profiting off of it in one way or another). I really don't see a reason to make an exception for people who have free+offline+etc apps.

You're publishing software, you need to be identifiable.

"Because I want to be able to sue you" is not a particularly compelling line of reasoning for legislating incredibly invasive laws.

This punishes the people who release apps for free or open source. For the money generating app farms it doesn't slow them down at all.
