Re: Why won\'t all the states just opt out
WTO granting Antiqua the IP sanctions is not a Hail Mary. But it's not a sure thing. On the one hand, the credibility of the WTO is at stake. On the other hand, taking on the biggest member is hazardous too.
The WTO might come out with a strong statement like we either ban all gambling or allow online gambling, grant Antiqua lots of trade compensation $, but then wimp out by not granting the IP sanction to enforce the judgment.
If it was the UN, it would be more than a Hail Mary for us. I'm hoping that the panel or whoever decides are not French or Italian. Call it a coin flip with us having the pocket pair.
