Just because it's "not available in your country" doesn't mean you have a right to own a version that's not produced by the original license holders.

even so .. is it still ok to import stuff if your country doesnt have it? (were talking as long as it was purchased from a legal liscensed vendor outside of the country .. one where it is possible to find copies.)

When to my surprise I saw the full 26 (TV) episodes to Nadesico! Only 60 bucks I though! Well I just got paid and I have money burning a hole in my pocket, so I picked it up. When I got to register the thing rang out @ $29.99(Price tag of $59.99!!) Fuck me running!!! I thought, but kept my damn mouth
shut for fear of loosing my golden opportunity. How much ass!! So much ass does that kick!!
Moral of the story: Run, now! Don't delay!! Don't even stop to read the responses!! Go get your own copy before this insanity ends

There he goes on mad spending sprees and returns 6 moths later with crinos gifts.). I am well aware of that fact. And I do not deny owning a few. The point I am trying to display is that no one can tell me not to import what I desire. Sure it was incorrect of me to purchase a DVD from a foreign source, when it is licensed by another in my country. But there is nothing that anyone can or will do. Now if my source were selling them to me, at a profit no less, then yes you would be correct in tell me that I am not. And I will not deny that I have paid for a couple DVD's hes brought back (Fushigi Yugi for example.) Yes it's some what illegal that I did pay a third party for the material. But much like scalping, is it really bootlegging if the third party makes not money of the deal? If so then yes, I have several (more) illegal purchased DVD's. And then I will just have find a new method. One way or another I will get what I desire semi-legally (not to be confused with illegally.)
And not that fatigue has officially set in I will retire. My arguments and my body. Settle it amongst your selves. Is Mr. Pilkington an immoral bastard or not?
