Kentucky Domain Names n Court

In a notorious action that ignited international condemnation by defenders of Internet freedom last year, the Kentucky governor attempted to seize and confiscate the domain names of 141 online gambling companies, citing moral objections and a need to protect the extensive land gambling interests already approved by the state.

Initially successful in a local court, the governor's initiative was stopped in its tracks when the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA), the Interactive Gaming Council and a slew of Internet freedom and civil society bodies successfully appealed the case, only to have the governor appeal against the appeal.

The case will now be heard by the Kentucky State Supreme Court on the morning of October 22nd, when 15 minutes per litigant oral arguments based on prior documentary briefings will be heard by a panel of judges.

Very interesting to hear updated news on the subject. So much has been happening. I'm registered with the PPA and even that seems to be a downhill battle. Unfortunately, Diane Feinstein is not agreeable to our arguments, stating that it promotes addiction and cannot be properly regulated.

Love that you are keeping us up-to-date on other locations as well.
