Supreme Court Rules On Internet Gambling
KENTUCKY....
In an attempt to restrict Kentuckians' access to internet gambling domains, the Beshear administration sued in Franklin Circuit Court in 2008 to give the state control of 141 gambling Web site domain names. Kentucky Supreme Court Justices ruled last week that trade groups like the Interactive Gaming Council, which hired lawyers to fight the state's action, don't have standing to represent the owners of gambling Web sites. The court ruled that, if the owners of Internet gambling operations don't want the state to seize the domain names of their Web sites, they need to show up in court.
