Very good article. The best bit comes near the end, which should give hope to US players -

"Under one provision of the WTO, a party is allowed to suspend its obligations (“concessions,” in WTO-speak) to another signatory if sanctions alone prove insufficient, and Antiguan authorities are already talking of following the example of Ecuador, which threatened to start selling black-market copies of EU merchandise, if the EU refused to comply with the original panel ruling on banana tariffs. Indeed, the EU and Japan have filed briefs supporting the Antiguan position."

Hollywood, Redmond, TV networks - are you ready to let your Intellectual Property be sold on from Antigua for zero dollars ?! This is the threat! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
