Inside the Court Room

The online caisno gambling industry is abuzz with the news that the Appeals hearing for the domain name seizure case went quite smoothly. The judges in the case are taking some time before announcing their ruling, which was entirely expected by most in the court room. The actually hearing itself apparently bodes well for the online casinos in question according to many of those present in the courtroom. Judge Wingate’s ruling has sparked controversy all over the world and most definitely outside of the online gambling industry because of the implications in his ruling – that Kentucky courts have the right to exert an amount of control over internet companies in foreign countries.

The internet is full of questionable information and companies that are operating a business that is illegal somewhere in the world – it doesn’t even have to be a controversial industry like online casino gambling – even the distribution of information is illegal in certain countries. But at the same time, although many businesses are illegal somewhere, Net Neutrality and an as-yet untested agreement between the counties has been the free operation of the internet. Individual countries like China, Myanmar, and other nations have chosen to block sites at an IP level, but the Kentucky situation will be a first in the age of the Internet if the Kentucky state government is authorized to confiscate foreign online casino domain names because of a violation of local legislation.

The fifty minute hearing in the Appeals Court indicated that three judges had read all of the support and opposition arguments and came prepared with questions and thoughts on the process that undoubtedly indicate that the judges understand the weight of the decision facing them. There is no indication yet which way the judges were leaning, but certainly many in the online casino gambling industry are hopeful of a positive outcome.
