Something I stumbled across.

Under the proposal, American companies for the first time could legally set up Internet casinos, run them from the United States and accept U.S. customers. Corporations that currently run land-based casinos in Las Vegas and elsewhere will likely be among the first to jump into the new industry, casino officials said, but they won't be the only ones.
"We would do so as quickly as we could," said MGM Mirage Senior Vice President Alan Feldman. "We would have it up and running within a year. And I have to believe that just about everyone will get involved at some level. All the major players."
The major players in gambling?
"Yes," he said. "But not just them. All the major entertainment companies will get involved, too. Sony, Apple, Universal, Columbia, Time Warner. It just seems logical that at some point they would find their way into the industry."
Even a company as family-oriented as Disney could get involved in opening an Internet casino, Feldman said. "I know Disney has certain beliefs about its core brand structure that could prevent it," he said. "But they could always create a sub-brand, as they do with their movie company Touchstone Pictures (which produces R-rated movies)."
A lot of it's fluff and what if's. Of course the harshest words come from Sen. Kyl the blustering windbag. The sky is falling, hurry save the children Senator!
