U.S. confirms loss in WTO Internet Gambling Trade Case

What does this mean? It means that Antigua and the other countries involved will LEGALLY become the largest bootleg market in the world (even bigger than the illegal bootleg market in China) for American software, movies, music, games, books etc. owned by any American company or individual.

Sweet! And I thought getting 192kbps MP3s for 15 cents each at GoMusic.ru was a deal... :)

As much as it pains me to see the U.S. making a fool of itself, it's nice to see that the other shoe does eventually drop and that bigots ultimately get what they deserve.

ANTIGUA'S W.T.O. LAWYER TO SEEK COLLABORATION ON U.S. DISPUTE FROM E.C.

European Commission could "...add support to our case and help encourage us to get the right results," says Mendel

The senior lawyer representing the interests of Antigua and Barbuda in its World Trade Organisation tussle with the United States over online gambling has responded positively to comments last week from EC competition commissioner Charlie McCreevy regarding US protectionism.

Antigua and Barbudas attorney Mark Mendel told ATE Online that he would be seeking to meet with McCreevy to explore how his countrys trade dispute with the US could benefit from expanded European Commission support following a WTO ruling that went against the United States recently.

Asked what he thought the EC could bring to the Antiguan argument, Mendel said: What I do think they can do is add support to our case and help encourage us to get the right results. They may be able to provide us with some support at the governmental level that could be beneficial to us.
