    I started a thread about this when the news first hit. Yes, it is an attempt at Internet censorship, but it will fail. Most gambling website owners here in the U.S. have already moved their sites to foreign servers.

    Well, US govt is after gambling sites because it cannot tax them.... Find a way to tax all these online gambling operations in the US and the govt will surely allow it.

    The US is crazy - you can own guns, marry a 13 year old, but woe betide you if you fancy a quick blast at online poker...

    It's been banned in America for a long time hasn't it?

    Can people over there find a way around the Internet ban? Or is it pretty much impossible?

    Its tax-free over here, I don't see why America has such a problem with it?
