I would think Cardrunners would be VERY concerned. If the DOJ is willing to go after larger companies, like Yahoo, for placing advertisements on gambling websites, or accepting advertising from them, where does that place Cardrunners? I would think actually training someone how to gamble, putting up videos of yourself playing cards (ie actually participating in an "illegal activity", according to the DOJ), writing in the blogs about all the money being won, and then accepting membership fees for all of the above activities, would amount to far more than these other companies were prosecuted for.

I would think that poker instructional videos can't be too far from "aiding and abetting" and/or a video taped confession of crimes committed.

I wouldn't call any of these crimes, but there are members of the DOJ and Congress who view that differently, and they have a little more influence than I do. Maybe someone needs to make them aware of the facts surrounding what these other companies were prosecuted for, and that its not just their revenue streams that are at risk here.
