You might want to try to get money off those sites if you have any. Also consider joining the Poker Player's Alliance if you're aggravated about this.

Here's a crazy idea, legalize it and tax it.  Everybody is happy.

(except for the douchebags that are against other people having fun because they (the douchebag's) think their religion gives them the moral authority to tell others what they can and can't do with their body and property)

After having trouble logging in since the news broke, I was finally able to log into my FTP account.  I haven't played in a few months, only did small stakes, but still can't do anything or get my $$$ out.  Its not much (a little less than $25).   A deal is in the works in order to be able to get your $$ out.

Still very frustrating.  I only played every now and then and small stakes, but what a bs law.

That's what I think should happen with drugs.

Good thing I lost all my money so I don't have to worry about trying to get it back. I wouldn't mind using my play money though, I'll have to check and see what's become of poker stars.

This domain seizure thing is total BS, whether it's file torrent sites, gambling whatever. The legalized gaming monopolies clearly must have played a part in shutting down competition via government. (my old libertarian streak shows itself).
