As far as cash goes, sure you might have to hand it over personally, but keep in mind that when it's being handed over, the two parties don't necessarily know each other. And, when you're looking at a bag/drawer full of cash, it's pretty much impossible to tell who gave you each individual coin/bill.
I know that that's what it is. What I'm saying is, if they're a reputable company, why wouldn't they freely put their name and contact as the ownership of their domain? Instead they feel a need to conceal it somehow.

Also, IIRC when you use it on Windows, even in traveler mode, it might make registry entries that might linger around. It is possible that soneone dedicated enough could find out that you've been using it.
