It has come to the attention of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda that there is a web site named Zookz.com that offers unlimited entertainment downloads for a fixed monthly fee. The company claims it is operating from Antigua and therefore it is permitted to offer downloads under the auspices of a 2007 World Trade Organization ruling in the remote gaming case brought by Antigua against the US. The company’s claims to be “authorized” by Antiguan government approval or under the WTO case are without merit.

 

This press release is written to clarify the situation from the point of view of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. The Zookz.com web site is not operating under the authority or with the knowledge of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. More specifically, Zookz.com is not authorized by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, or by the World Trade Organization, to offer entertainment downloads in contravention of international law.

ZookZ, the wacky subscription media service that was supposedly enabled by a WTO ruling specific to the country of Antigua, has suspended operations after being disavowed by the Antiguan government. The site had only launched last week; it offered unlimited downloads of unprotected music and video files for under $20 per month.

Det var ett jävligt kul/bra försök i alla fall
