That's some of the dumbest reasoning/justifcations I've ever heard... the reasons importers have gotten away with bringing in and selling HK bootlegs en masse is because they are so professionally done that customs officials and various lay-people aren't going to know that they're unlicensed versions of copyrighted materials.
The only way that the import of HK DVDs would ever be stopped is if the companies owning the rights to the properties pushed hard enough to get customs to crack down hard on the major HK companies' products (i.e. identifying FX materials) and stop their shipment.
Saying that selling something is clearly perfectly legal because you can get it past customs is just ridiculous.
