Apparently the US governments ability and right to seize a .com domain is accepted.
So far, I believe they have only done so only with casino sites that actually take bets – not with affiliates that merely get a % etc.
But why would that be any different than google being made to pay fines for previously accepting casino advertising (which apparently is now ‘sort of Ok’).
But with lone wolf states like Kentucky that seize sites that are dead, who knows what could be next.
I see the whole issue as a freedom of speech and rights.
“Brother Big” says we cannot do ‘this’, then we cannot do ‘that’ – what is next?
It appears to me to be a classic example of a ‘slippery slope’.
