   Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear's Attack on Internet Freedom Continues

   Rich Muny
   July 10, 2009

   Despite running for governor on a pro-gaming platform, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear (D) has unfortunately chosen to lead a protectionist crusade against online poker. Last year, he authorized an out-of-state contingency-fee only law firm to go to court on behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to seize 141 Internet poker and gaming website domain names, this despite the fact that these sites are operating legally in their home jurisdictions.

   Beshear’s underlying theory – that domain names of Internet sites operating legally in their home nations can be taken by any court in the world – is deeply troubling. For example, a few years ago a French court ordered Yahoo.com to block French citizens from accessing parts of the site deemed to have content unlawful under French law. Yahoo.com pushed back, citing free speech issues. What if French courts had the authority to seize the domain http://www.yahoo.com to force compliance? What if other nations could seize Internet domains to force the entire Internet to comply with their local laws? If Beshear succeeds, imagine the chilling impact on Internet freedom......
