Kentucky Judge Upholds State's Gambling-Domain Grab

Posted by timothy on from the always-think-forfeiture dept.

JohnHegarty writes "A Kentucky judge has upheld that state's seizure of some of the world's most popular online casino domain names, ruling they constitute a 'gambling device' that is subject to Kentucky's anti-gambling laws." Wasn't it surreal enough on the first round?

    Why is anyone surprised at this? This is, after all, the state that decreed by law that PI be equal to exactly 3.

    I'm wondering how their statehouse dome got constructed...

    The time will come when the evil of gambling will be prohibited world-wide in a centralized manner, but right now the attempts to fight internet gambling on the scale of Kentukky look heroic, but naive at best.
