Re: industry giants say, \"Not so fast\"
This article reeks. I don't see how any of those 'industry giants' can't see how stupid it is to be 'releasing' statements after the bill has already been passed. The time for action was before it went through. I mean, what do these bums really think they are going to accomplish?

i spoke with the general counsel of one of the top sites 3 weeks ago. he reiterated that that they had studied the legislation and that they felt;
1. it was unlikely to pass .
2. it would be declared unconstitutional in time.

Here's what we plan to do. On Monday, we're going to call our attorney to make an appointment. In addition to some other legal matters, we plan to discuss the legislation , the PPA, and exactly what our role should be.
Just for a little background, our attorney and his firm specialize in intellectual property and Internet Gambling. He also does all the intellectual property work for Steve Wynn and Kirk Kikorian, and has been our attorney since 1987.
In previous conversations, the feeling was that the legislation would not pass and the best role for us was not to do anything , and the opinion on the PPA was consistent with mine. However, now with the possibility of the legislation being attached to another bill, things may have changed. So all of these subjects will be brought up again.
