What do they do ?
- Go to Amsterdam and close them down ( equivalent at what has been done here )
or
- Get the Customs office to prevent the entry ( the US did that by preventing the use of credit card for gambling )
and/or
- Arrest their citizen for breaking the law
If KY wants to prevent online gambling, they have the technology...
Meanwhile, this should serve as a serious warning to all non-us citizens/corp to stay away from any entity that is related to the USA ( billing, hosting, corporations, ...).
And register your domain name in other " flavors " ( .ca, .fr, etc .... ).

A better example would be if someone was selling pot to Amsterdam residents over the internet.
Your comment about non dot/com domains is advise that I'm not taking lightly.
Don't overlook the political aspect of this move by the Ky governor with elections coming up and his platform on gambling. Very similar to porn busts before local elections.
