ST JOHN'S, Antigua, CMC - The opposition Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ALP) has expressed concern about the stance being taken by the Baldwin Spencer led administration concerning the Internet Gaming Dispute at the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
In a statement on Thursday, ALP Leader, Gaston Browne said the country is on a collision course with the United States.
"This collision course is not only with the US government but with several important and wealthy organizations that represent tens of thousands of copyright holders in the United States. These include the National Music Publishers' Association, and the International Intellectual Property Alliance that represents seven trade associations, including the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America and the Business Software Alliance.
