US government seizes Canadian ran gambling domain - georgia_tech_swagger - 03-08-2012 01:24 AM
The long and short of it ..... the US gov't claims unilateral authority, without warrant or due process, to seize any .com .net .org .cc .tv and .name website ... even if it is entirely owned an operated in another country ... simply for breaking laws in the US.
Bodog was a popular gambling site. Online gambling is illegal in the United States. But it is legal in Canada. The site was owned and operated out of Canada. But ICE declared that since the registry for .com is in the United States, Bodog's existence in the .com TLD was illegal.
How is the Hope and Change working for you liberals?
