Remember all of those small countries that became havens for off-shore
trusts? They realized that they can attract money simply by being one of the
best places to put money. Ever wonder why the government does not shut down
all of the internet casinos? Because they operate in foreign countries that
not only tolerate them but perhaps benefit from their presence. Oops, I
didn't mean to preach this much.


Speaking of online casions the easy to eliminate them is for the us government
to just ban ads for online casions. The casinos rely on ads for their customers
and most of the large advertisment providers with the big exposure that the
casinos need are based in the us. problem solved. The casinos go out of business
and everyone is happy.

(...) I guess the answer depends upon the domain name (I waffle just like a real lawyer :)). Clearly www.legos.com and www.lego.org would both be a problem using the "likelihood of confusion" test. Both of those domain names could draw internet (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.general)
