They'll make a litteral ton of cash at $5 a month.....

 This is like the Russian MP3 sites where anyone can legally DL a song for 10 cents I'd figure....

 I wonder if they'll have cracks and keygens along with the Warez they'll be selling... and what does that mean to a US 
buyer whom legally purchased the software from the Aniguan government?

 Interesting stuff LOL

The Government of Antigua is planning to launch a website selling movies, music and software, without paying U.S. 
copyright holders. The Caribbean island is taking the unprecedented step because the United States refuses to lift a 
trade "blockade" preventing the island from offering Internet gambling services, despite several WTO decisions in 
Antigua's favor. The country now hopes to recoup some of the lost income through a WTO approved "warez" site.
