Re: Poker and sports face vastly different political landscapes/minefi

Re: Congressmen Press for Solution to WTO Internet Gambling Dispute

Sorry, Jeffrey but the article does not state that the IGREA would comply with the WTO decision. It would not, but it could be amended to comply. Simply put the US has to treat all online gambling,...

My point is that no other country attempts to make this case over jurisdiction of foreign companies with no assets within its borders.

Re: Interesting tax decision for those residing in states...

Russ, I agree with you in general. I just think the case about slot machines is hysterical. It just cracks me up that the IRS lost this case. A professional slot machine player? Give me a break. ...

Re: Interesting tax decision for those residing in states...

The IRS does not seem to very often win the hobby v. business cases in which the taxpayer keeps complete and accurate records of his endeavor and seems to try the endeavor repeatedly. I would guess...

Re: Your Wrong

In general, ECB, I agree with you. Besides if the WTO grants Antiqua its requested IP sanctions then IMO the US will have to treat all internet gambling the same.
However, if litigation is needed...

Re: Interesting tax decision for those residing in states...

Amazing how the IRS never wins the hobby v. business issue. The IRS should have won this case. How can anyone reasonably expect to profit from slot machines? Yet effort and success in another...

Re: November 14th: House Judiciary Committee Hearing Thread

The funny thing is that the DOJ considers offtrack pari-mutual betting, horse and dogs, to violate the Wire Act. Ms. Hanaway claims that the BetOnSports case includes horse racing, but it is not...

Re: WTO\'s impotence???? Serious question

Skall is absolutely correct, except that IMO it will be the Dems that take notice and force change if the WTO grants Antiqua its requested IP relief. I wonder if Bush will care about that sanction. ...

Re: Article-Lawmakers press USTR for new tack in gambling case

The WTO is the organization that adjudicates disputes over the GATS treaty. I think that they are part of the same treaty. The federal statutues refer to decisions of the WTO. While they state...
