Source: www.domainnews.com The Washington Post provides a good outline of the attempt by the state of Kentucky to seize more than 140 online gambling domain names. The article says the case is raising novel legal questions about the physical location of digital property and the reach of local and regional governments on the global Internet. ...

Wingate\'s order compels the entities that manage the registration of those domains, known as domain registrars, to transfer control over the Web sites to the state.
