--- forwarded message --- Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:12:21 +0000 From: Richard Symonds <richard dot symonds at wikimedia dot org dot uk> Subject: [Wikimedia-l] "Legalised Piracy" Very interesting things happening in Antigua and the US: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21247683 Essentially, the World Trade Organization (WTO) have ruled that the islands have the right to suspend US intellectual property rights. It all stems from a trade dispute in 2003, where the US effectively banned electronic interstate gambling, which in turn damaged Antigua's economy." This has led to one thing and another, and "...on Monday the WTO's dispute settlement body gave final authorisation for Antigua to sell movies, music, games and software via a store that would be able to ignore US copyright and trademark claims." I'm not sure what this means for the movement - I'm sure there will be a long and lively discussion - but it's a very interesting turn of events in IP law.
