RE: Kentucky Domain-Grab Hearing Today

The attorneys for all sides have rested their cases, and Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate hopes to have a decision by next week, October 15th to be exact. The Associated Press is following the story.

Attorneys for Kentucky tried to make the case that the domain names of 141 gaming websites should be treated as \”illegal gambling devices\” and blocked so that Kentucky residents cannot access them. On the other side, attorneys representing numerous websites in question spoke up to argue that the domain names are not \”devices\” and don\’t even exist in Kentucky, and thus, the state has no jurisdiction to take control of them.

The case is in the hands of the judge.
