Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which was intended to create regulations for Internet gambling and prevent money laundering and fraud from occurring online, ultimately adversely impacted the rights and freedoms of Americans, other nations and business entities. The paper clarifies the legalities, ethics and social responsibility of this act and points out the sanctions that were allowed by nations through the World Trade Organization against the United States because of the law. The author concludes that, since the law has been determined to be unjust, it is the ethical obligation of the U.S. to abolish the law and create new legislation, which will not hinder the rights and freedoms of stakeholders.

From the Paper:

"Nevertheless, as time progressed, Rose (2000) discussed that most nations were hesitant to control Internet gambling because it required an intricate examination of the laws where the gambling originated, the multiple server locations that were involved in the gambling activity and the laws regarding gambling in the country where the betting took place. Rose (2000) stated that, in the United States, several pieces of legislation were proposed since the 1990s that were intended to create governmental controls over Internet gambling, with several proposals outlawing Internet gambling altogether."
