I know this is bringing back the little bandai going against pirated dvds thread but I saw on this website about a person asking if hk dvds were illegal or not? And the manager of this online anime dvd store said:
You can find this piece of info HERE!
I am just wondering if what the manager said was true or not. I mean he does have some reasoning why it is legal, but I want to hear what you guys say about this.

Quote:Are Hong Kong DVDs Illegal?
I'd answer this.. but it would most likely be thrown back in my face.. I'd like to point out that US Customs INSPECTS my packages DAILY.. and I get each and every one wrapped in yellow customs tape saying passed and GTG. We also quite often pay taxes on these shipments due to their value and you can't be taxed on illegal goods. So don't send me you're diatribe emails pleading that I am destroying the world.. because you're full of....
The best retort I've seen to this was a witty email to the effect of "If I shipped in drugs and they arrived that'd make them legal too! I have a lawyer that would love to hear that argument" To answer this I'll first point out that any moron that tries this and believes there are no drug sniffing dogs in customs.. you're an ideot. Second is the fact that the first numnuts in Customs that opens a box full of hash is gonna be dialing law agencies so fast it'd make your head spin. Don't waste your time writing me emails like this.. it's wracking your brain and I have tons of time to forward your ignorance to the masses. Any box that we were taxed on was opened and promptly inspected and given an "Taxation Rate per DVD" and we were billed. Legal, sorry to break it to ya.
