Casino City Appeal Lodged
You can't keep a good man down online, and you'll be reading a lot about feisty
Casino City publisher Michael Corfman over the next few months, we'll wager.
Corfman has lodged an appeal in the Fifth US Circuit Court against a decision
earlier this year which went against his challenge to the US Department of Justice
to cease its widely perceived as intimidatory tactics against advertising venues
carrying online gaming advertising.
The DoJ's actions in sending "informative" letters and subpoenas opining
Internet gambling as probably illegal in terms of the Wire Act to search engines
and media has resulted in massive advertising losses. Corfman challenged these
actions on grounds of the Freedom of Speech provisions of the US Constitution
but because he had not been sent one of the "Informative" letters
the ruling went against him.
He's back with all guns blazing in an appeal which the federal government wilol
have to address within 30 days.
A positive outcome will have major implications for the industry.
