Don't kid yourself--it is very easy to obtain this information unless you disconnect from the modern world, and as I have said most of the information was already readily available via other means long before we even had the Internet. For example, if you know the city a person lives in you can usually go to the clerk's office and look up exactly where someone lives. Perfectly legal.
As stated, you can request in writing. However, it is possible to remove yourself from many of these online databases.
