This article is an editorial commenting on a recent bill rushed through the U.S. Congress which would make it illegal for U.S. banks to process payments to illegal offshore Internet gambling operations. Though conservative politicians see this as a major moral initiative, the author contends that a ban on this form of gambling will be nearly impossible to enforce. It is describes as being a case where technology is overtaking lawmakers and the law. In Canada, federal officials do not appear to have plans to crack down on Internet gaming operators.
