Re: Congressmen Press for Solution to WTO Internet Gambling Dispute
France and Germany have attempted to prosecute foreign online gambling sites, but the EU have completely shut that down. China has threatened CNN and some other websites and gotten them to cooperate. But I don't want to equate China with US.
I have not researched prosecutions by countries against foreign websites like the US v. WSEX or BetOnSports, but I have read numerous articles about this type of jurisdiction without mention of similar cases. One exception is a website advertising in a foreign country. But when a company advertises on media in another country then it establishes a presence beyond just a website. Maybe Yahoo was investigated etc. for advertising in France?
Anyway the WTO pending action is going to affect this matter in a big way and soon.
