The Online Casino Advisory, a leading online gambling news website, has called for a boycott on all gambling in Kentucky until the domain name case is concluded.

The Advisory calls for “…a boycott by all gamblers, civil libertarians, and concerned protectors of the Internet of all products of Kentucky, or anything that produces Kentucky tax revenue. Until Beshear lifts his fascist order, every effort must be made to hurt the state’s coffers.”

“TwinSpires.com, which does not pay taxes in other states it accepts wagers from, should be shunned, and its domain name should be attacked by any state which wishes the Churchill Downs website would stop leeching off its citizens. Furthermore, the age verification at this site is a joke. For all Beshear’s reasons, this site must be boycotted by all gamblers.”””

“The live calendar for Churchill Downs runs from October 26th until November 29th. We ask all who are upset by the Kentucky court case refrain from attending the race track season. Let Beshear and the industry he wishes to protect see how misguided his attack is, and how angry citizens are.””””

“If you are a resident of Kentucky, buy your lottery tickets across state borders, or online from another state. If you attend Kentucky tracks, drive to Indiana or other states featuring full racing. If you live near the state border, buy groceries and cigarettes outside Kentucky.”””

Sherman Bradley, senior gambling analyst at Online Casino Advisory, says Beshear’s actions are myopic, unconstitutional, and illegally protectionist.

The site concludes: “The more that all the people who are appalled at Beshear’s Internet censorship and violation of the Constitution let him know that his actions will be met with reaction, the sooner he realizes his mistakes.”

A nice try but will people not “involved” in this action give a crap.  most Americans have no problem with governmental action until it happens to them, esepcially when it comes to civil liberties.

Speaking of civil liberties where the hell is the ACLU?

Anytime some groups of idiots what to carry a Nazi flag though a town, they come to their defense based on first amendment.  Well how about first amendment rights on the internet?

In a related matter, The chairman of iMEGA, The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gambling Association issued a statement about the judges ruling in the Kentucky action that all should read to understand the impact that this rulling may have on a much broader range of domains:

“This decision must not be allowed to stand, because of the threat it poses to the Internet as a whole.

“Judge Wingate has ignored the clear laws of his own state in coming to a decision that essentially green-lights any jurisdiction – in the U.S. and abroad – to ignore our rights and abuse their power to do away with competition or speech or content with which they oppose, regardless of the law. This is a dark day for Internet freedom.”

iMEGA believes the affect of this ruling will be felt across the entire online world. Other Internet industries could be at risk, such as social networking, video gaming, adult entertainment and others.

“What Judge Wingate has done is to create the ‘ultimate weapon’ to be used by the powerful and influential to attack content they oppose,” Brennan said.

“This will enable government to eliminate competition from differing ideas, beliefs and commerce. This decision today is where it starts, but where will it stop?”

We agree.

Without a doubt some of the domains effected will appeal and hopefully someone can file an action in federal court to bring this matter away from the politically controlled Kentucky courts and into a true impartial venue.
