Moved Again!

The case involving the Kentucky courts and the international online casino gambling industry has just taken another turn – the Franklin Circuit Court Judge has once again moved the judgment on the case to another day. The Kentucky government is pushing legislation that would seize more than 140 domain names from international online casinos and force internet gambling companies out of the Kentucky gambling market on the threat that non-compliance would mean the closure of the domain name. The legislation is highly controversial and has brought forth hefty criticism from the international online casino gambling market as well as the domestic companies that would be affected by the legislation.

Predictions earlier in the week have actually proved true – the proceedings have turned into a cluster and companies representing the online casinos have sent lawyers and protests to the courts. Some of the arguments are based upon the argument of international trade agreements as well as the argument that forfeiture of domain names registered outside of the US are not within the control of the US government, and certainly not the Kentucky government.

Others representing the Internet as an entity assert that this proposed legislation goes far beyond the online casinos and instead would set a dangerous precedence for the global internet industry. In light of the extremely chaotic environment surrounding the proceedings the judge delayed passing a judgment and instead gave all parties involved continuation until October 7, 2008 to submit objections and support arguments relevant to the case. The online casino gambling industry will now have to wait more than a week before arguments resume.
