I think the idea of a pipe back to the States could well precipitate a NAFTA issue: we would already be in a position to argue that blocking GWTW is already NAFTA-restrainable!
The danger here is that it might mobilize a NAFTA Europeanunion- style "harmonization" drive, and as bad as the Canadian copyright law is, and as worse as the US copyright law is, Mexico is much, much, much much worse.

Yes; but the ones who don't at least stake out a position are guaranteed to lose. Don't forget we've got that cultural thingy attached to NAFTA. If we don't use it, do you think anyone else will? Michael
