But how will a bank to which the borrower applies for another loan confirm the accuracy of their disclosures of other indebtedness? How could the tax office confirm, if need be, the proper owner of a parcel of property? How could an heir prove ownership in the case of sudden demise of the owners? Land ownership and mortgage registries were established to provide a secure, accurate, publicly available source of information which is important to society. That is the sort of thing this information is pulicly filed for. Sometimes, doesn't society's needs trump individual desires in this respect?
