Thanks for keeping us up to date, Jay. Especially considering our poker bias. I for one will be happy to donk off some money betting sports at your site once you prevail.

I can't open the document either. Could someone provide a summary or analysis?

This is the last submission based on dates that I noticed at the above link (oct4). It is pretty long. Does this help?:

I reviewed the submissions by Antiqua and US. US is raising all the issues already decided in the case. The US has a point about the total $, but I think that Antiqua is right about all other matters. My SWAG on the amount is 1/2 what Antiqua is seeking. But how else can they be compensated except by the relief from the IP obligations that they request?
Boy this takes a long time. Both submissions were in June.

There is no trade issue for the US to blance any win by Antigua with. Unless they start forcing people to leave or enter the US by way of Antigua or ship all goods there as an intermediate transhipping stop.

That is why people like Bill Gates and most of Hollywood are scared. Things like DVD's and CD's are a lot cheaper to produce than even upgrading their ports or widening their runways. I've siad it before the EU and the other countries who signed on to the WTO case will likely block the import and export of what would be "illegal" US produced versions of the same material just to make the US look bad!
