[Bp_localcontent] Local content: Defining the Issue

Thomas

I assume that was addressed to me?

I’m not sure what laws are involved, but since they don’t offer their services to the US market then I assume they’re avoiding headaches with the US in general

See: http://www.michele.ie/post/88821774955/online-gambling-forbidden-at-loews-miami-beach for example

And their terms and conditions:

Michael,

What law or payment system "encourages" the Irish gambling establishments to block access from U.S. IPs?

Michele,

That’s an interesting addition to what is “local content”.    I hadn’t considered gambling as local content, but I see now that it could very much be considered to be local content.

regards
Glenn

Glenn

One of your points triggered something with me ..

Here in Ireland online betting is legal, though it’s not legal in the US.

So online betting sites block access to US IPs.

We also see companies like our national broadcaster (http://www.rte.ie/) restricting some of their content to Irish users only.

Not sure how relevant this is, but the legislative / legal angle triggered my thought processes.

Regards

Michele
