Unfortunately for both sides, the negotiations on a settlement of the Antigua vs. U.S.A. World Trade Organisation dispute have not reached a favorable end.
According to the latest reports from Geneva, Antigua has decided to opt for WTO-approved trade sanctions against the United States, which may involve allowing movie downloads without protecting U.S. copyright.
This might be painful for US intellectual rights holders, as Mark Mendel, a lawyer representing Antigua in the case noted that "American intellectual property rights holders are fighting piracy across the globe. They hate the theft of their intellectual property rights and they spend enormous sums trying to prevent it."
