Legal Problems

In class we discussed the problems that the internet has created in dealing with some illegal behavior. Because I have played online poker in the past, I have first-hand experience with this matter. Prior to the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in September 2006, I did not realize that online gambling was illegal. So this brings up the difficulties of not only creating and enforcing laws, but also must deal with uncharted terroties that increase confusion. Even after the passing of this act, many American players can gamble online without any reprocusions. I would be willing to wager (excuse the pun) that many online gamblers still do not realize what they are doing is considered illegal. Just my 2 cents.
