Um, no. The Kilbride court did NOT hold that private registration is illegal.
The scumbag, spamming, pornography defendants - sentenced under numerous statutes, claimed that the statute preventing their FAKE registration of domain information in the context of sending spam was unconstitutionally vague because it could encompass those using private registration of accurate information.
The court rejected that argument.
Private registration for the purpose of concealing a spammer's true identity may be problematic - but the issue only arises if there is false information in the emails to begin with, and the email arise out of a subset of CAN-SPAM involving the sending of pornographic emails.
And - the defendants were trying to make it impossible to determine where they were.
Normally, that is not an issue as the person receiving your email knows you who are. No need to check domain registration information.
