US Allows Piracy in Antigua

The United States has recently allowed the country of Antigua, for reasons unclear to me, to sell US-copyrighted content without any respect or royalty to the proper holder. As Jeff Duntemann notes, whatever connection they have going out of there is going to be overwhelmed faster that you can say "piracy runs free." People going to the physical place to take a terabyte or two of data will probably get checked and caught by customs. Still, it's pretty insane that we're allowing people to violate all intellectual property rights and make a profit doing so. Piracy on small scales has been known to increase the popularity and legitimate sales of products, but the unfathomable proportions of what could happen here has the potential to do some serious damage to US-based content producers. Government, why?
