Well, guess U.S may think about violating free trade again which they were evidently accused and found guilty of by the World Trade Organization in 2005.
Antigua attempted offering internet gambling access to American citizens, to which they were denied for whatever reason...
And now as a direct result of that blockade, Antigua's gambling industry (which supports about 5% of it's population) is dwindling to nothing.
So Antigua files a dispute and wins. - What did they win?
They now have the right to suspend U.S. copyrights up to $21 million annually.
More accurately: They do have the right AND will be setting up a site online that allows them to distribute up to 21,000,000$ of U.S media internationally a year, without compensating the makers in any way.
