Anger

Post by Lord Zarak »

Dunno if you know, but I've been onto the Forbidden Planet website, and I've found out that because of the new licensing restrictions (whatever they are- can someone direct me to a thread about them please, if one exists) the Transformers Genesis Art Book isn't available. Is there any way to get round the restrictions legally?

It probably has to do with Dreamwave not being about to distrubute outside North America.

Only way around it I can think of is to have someone here in the US mail one to you

Try ordering it from Amazon.com. They should be able to send you a copy.

Basically you can import whatever you like (within reason). I e-mailed custom and Excise regarding whether there were any legal restrictions to importing the comics and stuff and they said there are none provided one is willing to pay the Import Tax

As such provided you buy it from the USA you can bring it into this country

http://www.reedcomics.com should be getting it.

War Within 2 is in Comicana, in London, they may get other DW stuff in if they have a regular source.

Ah, tae f*** with the legality... why should anyone respect a copyright when something is being specifically withheld from sale?

I think the best we can hope for is for Pat Lee to die in his sleep... would it help the distribution? Probably not. Would it make me laugh? Oh yes.
