Quote:Unfortunately, that reasoning is probably what's going to keep US citizens from benefiting from anything Antigua manages to get approved.
The United States did not exclude the bit about Internet gambling. It's now claiming both a) it didn't have to, because it's the US,
The US has a history of ignoring decisions that go against its preceived economic interests (for example, they still haven't dropped the softwood lumber tariffs that the US-dominated NAFTA tribunal told them to drop last year). If you live in the US, don't hold your breath on this one.
Quote:I'm more interested in seeing the MPAA/RIAA vs. the "gambling is eeeeeevilllllll" moral minority, actually. We'll finally get to find out which one has more influence in the US Congress...
When this happens, I'm betting (with an outfit in Antigua, of course) that the RIAA and the MPAA's collective heads are going to explode. Can you just imagine the resulting collision in Washington, between the big money lobbyists who are seeing their dying profit model get shot in the head, and the Imperialist administration who won't be told what to do by anyone?
