I disagree.

IP space is a public resource, much like land.  Just as who owns a
piece of land is public information (everywhere I know of, at least),
and this is not considered privacy-intrusive, I believe that being
assigned a piece of IP space should require the owner information to be
public.  Nobody is required to hold any IP space, after all.

If privacy laws in some jurisdiction make this illegal, then IP space
simply must not be assigned to entities in that jurisdiction.  Having
IP space is not a right.
