KY Appeals Court Nixes Seizure of Gambling-Linked Domains

Posted by timothy on from the stick-to-the-whiskey-making dept.

davidwr writes "A state appeals court in Kentucky ruled that the state courts cannot seize domain names as 'gambling devices.' The court ruled that 'it's up to the General Assembly — not the courts nor the state Justice Cabinet — to bring domain names into the definition of illegal gambling devices.'"

    I thought this article was about something else entirely. Sure, Kentucky makes more sense, but its much less ... appealing.

    I'm disappointed. Disappointed and dry.
