BBC News - Antigua applies for permission to run 'pirate' website
The Caribbean island is due to appear before the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 28 January seeking permission to run the site.
The decision to set up the site is the end point of a long-running dispute with the US over gambling.
The US has objected to Antigua's plan saying it amounted to official "piracy" of intellectual property.
Officials from Antigua will make their plea before the WTO's dispute settlement body on Monday to get "final authorization" to set up the site, Mark Mendel, a lawyer representing the island nation told the BBC.
