Well Then, Who Decides?

In ongoing news, the World Trade Organisation’s decision to grant Antigua the right to disregard U.S. copyrights on music and movies up to $21 million was met with both speculation and kudos. Those online casinos related companies that were forced out of the U.S. because of protectionist legislation are surely looking for ways to make the U.S. pay for the decision to alter trade commitments rather than pay compensation to the many companies affected by the online gambling ban.

There are surely two sides to the arguments those in the U.S. government, and even Antigua who ponder if $21 million can make a noticeable dent on the music and movies industry. But at the same time, the WTO ruling is just one of several compensation cases to be resolved throughout the international online casinos industry, and the U.S. could end up paying for its withdrawal from the internet gambling industry in other trade areas. Then there is the question about how the U.S. will protect its music and movies industry once Antigua begins to sell copyrighted music for cheaper.

Remarks abound that even with the copyright infringement, the U.S. can still enforce that the island nation only take $21 million worth of copyrighted sales each year is met with speculation – just who is going to monitor the amount of copyrighted information that Antigua sells? And beyond that, the dollar amount is negotiable and it is hardly likely that Antigua and the U.S. will always agree on the value of the copyrighted materials.

So what this means for the online casinos industry is that it is unlikely at this point that the U.S, is rethinking the decision to ban online casinos, but as Antigua begins to sell the U.S.’s copyrighted materials, the U.S. could pursue other options for compensation for to reopen the door to U.S. online gambling companies.
