     @wezm remember back in the 90s it was illegal to import CDs and shit? When they repealed all those laws Bob McMillan took the right people to the right joints in king’s cross, so that law remains in place for print.

     @wezm could be an age thing. The price of music basically halved for the consumer when they did it, and it was before the mp3.

     @Sophistifunk no my country upbringing may have shielded me from such things. Was not aware of that.

     @wezm … but also I’ve worked in the printing industry a couple of times. Said Bob has bought me a few dinners too back in the day 😂

     @wezm yeah of course. It just costs more on account of the legally mandated monopoly 😂

     @Sophistifunk if I was printing here and mailing out that would be ok though right?

     @wezm also, printing and mailing from asia is probably fine, even if it could be enforced. They just don’t want you importing bulk product from foreign presses.
