Banned in Washington State

I have to wonder just where the server that you just accessed is residing? Is it located in Washington State? If it is I may have just broken the law.
Will this blog be shut down? Will the whole server be taken offline? Maybe you think I'm being paranoid? Well tell that to Todd Boutte who had his online casino review site shut down. What's wrong with this you might ask? The law bans online gambling. Well Todd's site only talked about online poker. No where on his site could you place a bet or even play a hand of poker. Since I hate blogs that don't link to their sources here are a few articles talking about the ban:
Seattle Times
Poker News

Todd isn't alone in this breach of freedom of speech, The Seattle Times has been ordered to cease publishing their Poker column. It's become quite clear that talking about poker will get you into a lot of hot water and possibly some jail time.

To ad insult to injury it is still possible to place wagers online for your favorite horse or purchase lottery tickets online. Of course these two industries are controlled by the state of Washington.... So perhaps this simply boils down to the simple fact that the state isn't making any money off online gambling.

Well I'm off to play some online poker, but of course I don't live in Washington State.... Thankfully.

That's All, I fold.
