Kentucky Domain Seizure Case Is Heading Back To The Supreme Court

March 29, 2010 by Michael Berkens

Gambling911.com, is reporting that the chief judge of the Kentucky Court of Appeals approved iMEGA’s request to have its petition to send iMEGA, et al v. Commonwealth immediately back to the state’s Supreme Court.

The order, signed early Friday, now allows the Supreme Court to make a decision on the merits regarding the 141 domain names seized by the Commonwealth.

On March 18th the Supreme Court of Kentucky reversed the appeals court order throwing out the seizure order saying the parties did not have standing to contest the ruling.

However last week one of the parties came forward identifying itself, Truepoker.com, causing iMEGA to ask the appeals court to send the case back to the Supreme Court since the standing requirement had been met.

    This is great news – that the Kentucky Supreme court is willing to reconsider the case at such an early date.

    I’m grateful a relevant party identified themselves. With all this legal material flying around, regarding WHOIS information, the stuff on Howard’s blog, the Argentine story on Thedomains.com, it seems there is a growing pattern of force pushing against the privacy wall.

    I’m not sure how I feel about privacy registrations, as I’ve never used them; but it seems to me a legitimate privacy WHOIS listing should be permitted. Well, I guess I do know how I fell about it, after all.
