 Mate.  When you come to grips with reality I might point out that I
was in one instance attempting to import a film that is legal to
purchase and own in California (your home state) in the United States
of America and which is sold freely in France and perfectly legal in
all of the State of the the European Union.

 As for you assertions that I should foget about censorship because of
a) b) or c) I can tell you now I will never do that in my lifetime.

 Join the rest of the crowd - the idiots in your own country which in
some parts comprise one of the most repressed and backward nations in
the western world.  It is a nation that stifled science in the name of
God, attempted to repress ideologies it didn't like and prohibited
certain forms of legal drugs leading to gangsters and Al Capone.

 It now attempts to control the world through the force of arms.

 And as for willfully or knowlingly having comitted a criminal act...

  THIS IS NOT CORRECT !

  I do not knowlingly commit criminal acts.

  STOP attempting to INTIMIDATE me in surpressing my _RIGHTS TO
FREEDOM OF SPEECH_  which is supposedly enshirined in your
constitution and may I remind you that the State of Liberty which some
of you believe is an embodiment of American "Liberty" isn't.  It was a
gift from the people of France constructed by the French on American
soil to remind you  and those who passed laws in your country that
forbids congress making laws that forbids freedom of speech or freedom
of expression on the grounds that your nation was built on the
foundations of fundamentalist concepts inherited from those who fled
Europe with a belief that they and they alone should decide what was
right and what was wrong.

 I notice you have decided to stray into the world aus.censorship - a
newsgroup that has fallen into a state of complete disinterest after
several years of high activity (from 1995 to around the year 2000).

 The Pope is currently looking for exorcists to help drive out the
devil.  Go join your friends in the Vatican.  You'd make an excellent
inquisitor - burning people at the stake and advising them that they
will burn in hell unless they turn to God - a religious concept you
yourself deny.

 What a hypocrite you turn out to be.
