U.S. Not Cooperating

The United States may be in for a battle they’re not prepared for in just a matter of weeks at this point. Antigua is now seriously issuing threats to the United States (and inadvertently the Motion Picture Association of America) considering that the U.S. online casinos settlement negotiations have firmly stalled. The issue between the U.S. and Antigua is long-standing at this point and has gone on for several years, but only since this past December has the World Trade Organisation (WTO) put Antigua in a position of power that gives the small island nation leverage when debating and demanding online casinos gambling legislation and compensation.

The WTO awarded Antigua $21 million a year – and while the U.S. has requested that the small nation refrain from implementing the ruling that gives Antigua the right to ignore U.S. copyrights, that is as far as the negotiations have gone. The legal representation for Antigua, Mark Mendel, stresses that although the nation has not acted on the permission to infringe on U.S. copyrights, it is a definite prospect if the U.S. government doesn’t really come to the table with a mind toward compromise and resolution in this online casinos gambling dispute.

The Bush administration has essentially refused to budge at all on the current online casinos gambling ban. While the U.S. has formed a tentative settlement with the European Union, Antigua is still fighting for adequate compensation. Mendel remarks on Antigua’s willingness to act on the ability to infringe on U.S. copyrights up to $21 million; "Perhaps the U.S. doesn't think we're serious. We are."
