They've already gone after Internet Gambling, seizing the websites of Full Tilt Poker, Poker Stars, and Absolute Poker back in April.

Actually it goes a step further than that. A couple of years back the Governor of Kentucky ordered ICANN to hand over a number of .com domains of Internet Gambling companies. The interesting part is that Internet Gambling [sports betting excluded] is NOT illegal at Federal level, but it IS in Kentucky.

The message therefore is that if your website is .net or .com and it contravenes any law of any individual US State it has a high risk of being seized and shut down.
