See the US/Australia Free trade agreement. The US held it hostage until Australia extended it's copyright length from Life + 50 to Life + 70. Was that fair to Australian citizens? Did not a foreign country take money (items that would have fallen into the public domain and therefore be available for free in that country) from Australian citizens? Pity StoneTools isn't around any more. I'd like to hear his rationalizations on WTO ruling... |

Other countries like e.g. Iran should take a long hard look at this issue. Offering cheap downloads etc. of US intellectual property might be a good way to recoup money held by the US under all sorts of pretexts. |

How does someone commence selling (in this case) US videos in a country other than the US?
So, my guess, someone/x number (or company/ies) in Antigua are selling US videos - is that the scenario being presented? A couple of queries: What are the usual arrangements for this type of 'concession'? Wouldn't the US video consignor simply not pass on any more videos if there was a sales breach in Antigua? |

Or do they refer to the legal sales? However, implicit in the Antiguan Government's tactics maybe that it no longer would notice illegal sales? (Really, perhaps the US should just pay the money it owes and all this could be resolved.) |

I thought it was pretty funny the article claiming that China might retaliate against the US for violations of the WTO. China is a pretty big violator of the WTO.
"Although the United States convinced the appeals panel that these laws were "necessary" to protect public health and morals, the asserted United States defense on these grounds was ultimately rejected because its laws relating to remote gambling on horse-racing were not applied equally to foreign and domestic online betting companies, and thus the United States could not establish that its laws were non-discriminatory." It appears the problem was with http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/..._e/ds285_e.htm |

It would require a change to state constitutions and some states would potentially lose a lot more than $21 million if they permitted international online gambling.
