BoycottKentucky.com Starts Petition Against Kentucky Gambling

The anger is growing among people who are afraid of what the Kentucky online gambling domain case could lead to. People are concerned that this precedent setting case could spread to all industries, not just online gambling.

BoycottKentucky.com has decided to do something about this potentially disastrous ruling. They are calling for a boycott of gambling in the state of Kentucky, and they are expanding their efforts to include a petition.

The site is seeking signatures for the petition at their website. They are hoping that individual people as well as companies will join the fight against this Internet infringement rights case.

Governor Steve Beshear, who ran his political campaign based largely on the idea of expanding casino gambling in the state of Kentucky, has now done the unthinkable. He has brought on a lawsuit to try and seize the domain names of online gambling sites that have customers in Kentucky.

If Beshear gets his way and the domain names are seized, it would open the door for all Internet companies to be unlawfully attacked by individual states. The case could completely change the direction of the Internet.

In addition to the petition, BoycottKentucky.com is also asking that concerned individuals call Governor Beshear's office on Friday, October 31st, to voice their displeasure. Once the petition is complete, it will be sent to the Governor and the judge in the case, before the next scheduled hearing.
