In a ruling with International impact Judge Thomas Wingate, a Kentucky state court judge, has ruled that internet gambling sites that do not block Kentucky users can have their domain names seized by the state government. This ruling was in response to a motion filed by online trade associations to block the state from taking the domain names of online gaming sites.

Whatever you may think about gambling sites is beside the point. Do you want to have your domain name subject to seizure by a court anywhere in the world because you broke some local law?

IMO, if this decision is allowed to stand it could very well be the end of the Internet as we know it. It for sure will be the death of all the smaller sites as only the largest of the large would be in a position to research and comply with the myriad of local laws around the world.

What do you guys think about this?
