Abstract

This article reviews a recent WTO trade dispute between Antigua and the United States concerning the regulation of remote gambling. The case, United States–Measures Affecting the Cross-Border Supply of Gambling and Betting, raises important questions about the regulatory regimes that affect the cross-border traffic in media and cultural products and offers a detailed analysis of the principle that even in the context of an international trade agreement, states can restrict the flow of media in the interests of protecting public morals. The article situates this legal dispute in the context of gambling's recent growth as a business and social pastime.
