Online Gambling Ban could open US products for island nation

http://www.slate.com/id/2153352/?nav=tap3

Details how the online gambling ban, and the US's defying the WTO decision against them might backfire against them.. here's a good paragraph.

But the plucky little island paradise does have some creative options at its disposal. If the United States remains recalcitrant, under the WTO rules, Antigua would potentially have the right to suspend its own compliance with the treaty that obligates it to respect the United States' intellectual-property laws. That, one can well imagine, might get Washington's attention.

heh.. I can just see that, but I wouldn't be surprised of Antigua does do this, the gambling ban really hurt them, and the US is being hypocritical about it
