iMEGA moves to block Kentucky seizures

[vixen777]

Attorneys representing the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA) have filed a motion in the Franklin Circuit Court to prevent the Commonwealth of Kentucky from seizing the rights to 141 gambling-related domain names. This is the second time iMEGA has moved to block Kentucky’s efforts to have the rights to each domain frozen, under threat of seizure by the Commonwealth, with the purpose of forcing sites that used the domains to pay financial settlements to reacquire rights of use. iMEGA managed successfully last January to block the Commonwealth’s first attempt to seize the domain names, when the Court of Appeals issued a writ prohibiting the Franklin Circuit Court from proceeding with the seizures. Kentucky has also issued another lawsuit pursuing Full Tilt owner Pocket Kings, Microgaming and PartyGaming for monies allegedly lost on the site by state residents. PartyGaming last month issued a motion dismissing the lawsuit.
