I think the problem with bringing any element of the WTO issue into the argument is that as long as people like Jay don't get the dream scenario they need, there will always be demands for IP resolutions etc. This in turn forces the situation into an all or nothing scenario, which I outlined above as being bad.

I think we are best off following your lead, pushing for US legislation. As I stated in an earlier thread, I have been right behind you on your efforts, and I think that is part of the way forward...

Thanks. I'm CERTAINLY not suggesting we abandon support for IGREA in favor of hoping somehow the U.S. will cave to the WTO. After all, there's no history of the U.S. bending to the will of any international body, and there's little reason to imagine this will be the first. However, we can use this as added ammo in our arsenal. I have in some of my pro-IGREA letters.

My original question was really to Jay. It wasn't rhetorical. I'm really curious to know how he sees this progressing, so we can assist if possible.
