shaark 0 #1 September 29, 2008 http://www.out-law.com/page-9462 Does this seem to be an incredible attempt to censor/control the internet? The Governor of Kentucky maintains that online poker is illegal in Kentucky (which it is not) and therefore a Kentucky court can seize any relevant Domain Names wherever they are registered, even outside the U.S. A similar censorship attempt was made by a Swiss bank some years ago. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Bank-Julius-Baer-lawsuit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #2 September 29, 2008 It's funny you should mention this. I heard part of a press conference from Gov. Beshear this morning on the radio. He maintained that these sites were not just illegal, but illegal nationwide...even in Nevada and New Jersey. What's funny, is that he's pro-grambling, and pro-casino. He tried to get casino gambling brought to Kentucky, but the legislature killed it (thank goodness). edit to add: I don't think he'll succeed in the end. He's only mad because these sites don't pay taxes... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
