Internet Gambling Owners Need To Appear In Court
KENTUCKY....
In 2008, the Beshear administration sued in Franklin Circuit Court to give the state control of 141 gambling Web site domain names in an attempt to restrict Kentuckians' access to them. Thursday, the Kentucky Supreme Court, for a second time, ruled that the owners of Internet gambling operations need to show up in court if they don't want the state to seize the domain names of their Web sites. Justices ruled 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 justices also found questions about whether the few businesses named as owners of some of the sites really own the domain names.
