    <p>The judge is incompetant,  he cant even agree that poker is a game of skill.  Fuck the republican mob of anti poker legislators only interested in $$$$$.  This makes me vomit and I dont live in Kentucky.</p>

    <p>Imagine the future headlines, "China seizes Microsoft.com",  "Iran seizes IBM.com",  everybody seizes playboy.com. blah blah blah.  What a donkey ruling, no thought about prescident.  Complete arrogance.   Let's hope someone seizes the Kentucky horse racing website.   World War 3 on the web with domain seizures.</p>

    <p>The funny thing is if our government regulated and taxed online poker they would stand to collect around 2 billion dollars a year in tax revenue. Also sites like pokerstars are traded publicly on the London stock exchange but what do I know I'm not a republican.</p>

    <p>smak2377, I'm pretty sure pokerstars is not traded publicly.  party poker is traded publicly and that's the primary reason they left the US market.</p>

    <p>This isnt just about poker. Controlling what people are allowed to see and read and do is pretty atrocious. What if you state decides P5s site is a gateway  for criminal activity and decide we aren't allowed to meet as community online and discuss issues? These people are stealing you freedom.</p>

    <p>So they want a monopoly on betting and gambling in the state? They will allow horse betting and lottery cause they get a piece of both, but the state gets no money from poker.</p>
