Gaming Pros Against Kentucky

Gaming Pros Join Together Against Kentucky Online Gaming Domain Ruling.

As the online gambling community waits for a Kentucky judge to rule whether Governor Steve Beshear can take over the domain names of 141 wagering sites, members of the non-gambling community are also banding together in disgust over the attempt.

As one internet expert firm, Techdirt put it: “Lots of people are pushing back and explaining how ridiculous that scenario is to the judge, noting, for example, that following similar logic would allow any country to seize any domain name. For example, China could decide that the BBC website violates its laws and demand that the BBC domain name be turned over to the Chinese government. Most folks would recognize this as ridiculous - but it's effectively what the Kentucky governor has done.”

It's an utterly ridiculous state of affairs the that hopefully, the Judge will see sense with rather than opening up every domain in the World for litigation.  It's totally Doolally!!
