iMEGA and IGC vs. Kentucky state
December 14, 2008, 7:34 am (2 years ago)There was no instant conclusion Friday on the iMEGA and IGC vs. Kentucky state hearing in the Kentucky Appeals Court in Louisville. But the good side of it was that there was a unified feeling that all of the judges hearing the case were very well arranged with a lot of relevant and inquisitive questions, and that an early verdict looks probable.
The applicants were claiming previous Franklin County Circuit Court regulations by Judge Thomas Wingate which advocated the surprising assumption by state governor Steve Beshear that he has the power and jurisdiction to stop and finally confiscate the Internet domain names of online gambling and other companies addressed somewhere else in the world. The case, involving some 141 domains, has major allegations for Internet commerce all over the place, and has drawn extensive media reporting and criticism from Net Neutrality organizations.
