Sorry, I forgot about that!
I do recall the last domains I transfered from GoDaddy to Tucows did get stalled and Tucows reported that the Whois was not parsable.
I wonder how Tucows addressed / addresses the issue?

Since transfers require the gaining registrar to confirm with the current admin. contact, and the only way to get the admin. E-Mail address is to query the losing registrar's WHOIS, I think blocking or falsifying data would constitute restraint of trade.

provide fradulent data (If this is true). If a registrar wants to buy the

Given how frequently some registrars rape other registrars
Whois databases for renewals I don't think there is much
chance of successfully arguing against "protecting
oneself". This is also another reason why some registrars
severely govern the rate at which you can query their
Whois.
I'm espicially fed up with Register.Com doing this and
physically mailing me creatively worded renewals in hopes
I'll screwup and renew with them ... They also throw in
variant names on top of it!
