Indeed it has. In fact, it was a Poker Players Alliance email that led me to the story. And I know that at least one (prominent) online poker company stopped operating here after the seizure order. Not to mention the precedent this would represent if Beshear gets away with it.

So, yeah, there are those as might be interested. One wonders why those who aren't feel compelled to comment. Stuff that doesn't interest me I just pass over. I guess some just can't pass up a chance to the need to piss in others' corn flakes.

This is being followed closely by the poker community, as most of the websites that have been 'seized' involve online poker. The domain hosts are all over the world, which makes the claim by KY fairly ludicrous.

It’s a story I doubt has gotten much play outside Kentucky (not least becuse it’s gotten so little inside Kentucky).

This is likely because--at least as you describe it--the story is of little interest to anybody.

A better use of a Kentucks time would be eating a hot brown and drinking an Ale-8 rather than worrying about this.

Were they domain names of sites hosted in the state of KY?
