Default The Economist article about online gambling

This weeks issue of the economist had an interesting article about the WTO battle going on between the US and Antigua regarding online gaming.

WTO found in favor of Antigua (this is old news) however most people feel the US will not change their laws and the situation will remain as is.

However, apparently with the WTO win if the US does not comply then Antigua is allowed to pirate US software/music/movies according to the WTO rules. So the next step for legalization of gambling might ironically be to sell pirated copyright material.

Here's hoping Antigua follows through with the pirating and the movie/music industries raise hell in washington.
