Grand Fenwick Attacks!

Antigua has been fighting the U.S. before the WTO for years, arguing that American restrictions on internet gambling violate GATT. The U.S. has, essentially, told Antigua that if it wanted to change U.S. law, they might want to invest in a nuclear warhead to get us to care.

Well, it seems that the mouse has roared. Antigua has asked the WTO for permission to release it from its obligations to the U.S. under GATT. In other words, Antigua is about to stop respecting U.S. copyrights. That should get the U.S. to start paying attention.

I'm pretty sure that Jack Valenti rolled over in his grave when Antigua filed its request. And just when he finally found a comfortable position!
