The Times Online posted a great column today by Anthony Julius, in which he vents his frustration over the one-sided relationship that has developed between America and Britain.
Of particular note to Julius is the American activities following the passage of the UIGEA.?
"The US nevertheless continues to act against those who withdrew from the market in 2006, while US businesses still operate in America free of interference or the risk of prosecution. The US seems untroubled by WTO findings. Nor is it deterred by an EU investigation into its discriminatory legislation and its violation of international trade principles. Remarkably, US companies are developing equivalent businesses in the UK and elsewhere in Europe on equal terms with UK and European businesses."
Really, what more can be said about America's actions?
They want it every way. Not only do they want to stop other companies from marketing their services in America in accordance to international law, but they expect other countries to allow American companies to market those same services elsewhere.
Amazing.
