Legitimate businesses do NOT need to hide their domain registration information... they would have a proper business address and contact listed.
Actually, private domain registration is recommended to keep spammers from accessing contact info. Domain registrars list email address and phone numbers for all domain contacts. It is an easy way for spammers to gain access to that info. It's one of the reasons GoDaddy uses Captcha when doing a WHOIS lookup. I recommend it to all my business customers.

Private domain registration makes sense for regular folks who want a domain and scammers. That's about it IMO and Amazon would agree:
Registrant Name: Hostmaster, Amazon Legal Dept.
Registrant Organization: Amazon Technologies, Inc.
Registrant Street: P.O. Box 8102
Registrant City: Reno
Registrant State/Province: NV
Registrant Postal Code: 89507
Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.2062664064
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax: +1.2062667010
Registrant Fax Ext:
Registrant Email:
As well as the domain hosting this, and countless others.
