Default Kentucky (WTF?) attempts to seize domains
Taking on my home state of Washington (where playing online poker is a felony) for the coveted title of "most ridiculous efforts by politicians against online poker"?



Kentucky is taking on the online gambling industry by attempting to seize 141 domain names registered to online companies by using a law that allows officials to seize devices that are used to for illegal gambling. The government will try to convince a judge on Thursday that the law applies to Internet domain names and that the state should take ownership of them in order to protect its citizens
