Interesting… the The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association (iMEGA) is trying a different tactic to stop the enforcement of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA). They have filed a lawsuit saying that enforcement of the UIGEA would set a dangerous precedent because “sets a dangerous precedent for I-commerce by criminalizing the transmission of money if the end result is illegal in some unspecified placeâ€.
Other grounds pointed out in the lawsuit is the recent rulings by the World Trade Organization against the United States regarding their stance toward online gambling.
