Because We Don't Want To Take Money Away From State Lotteries

From FindLaw:

    The Sporting News agreed to a $7.2 million settlement with the federal government to resolve claims it promoted illegal Internet and telephone gambling in print, on its Web site and on its radio stations.

    U.S. officials said Friday that the advertising ran from spring 2000 through December 2003.

    The Sporting News paid a $4.2 million fine Thursday. The remaining $3 million of the settlement will be for public service ads aimed at dissuading people from gambling over the Internet or via telephone.
