In Brazil, everything related to books and newspapers is tax exempt. So people would buy foreign software as a manual that by chance came with a CD with some software.
Some games were sold as magazines too. One famous singer started selling his music as a magazine with a bonus CD.
- hilbert42 4y ago"In Brazil, everything related to books and newspapers is tax exempt." So they should be - everywhere. But that incident was a long time ago and there have been many changes in Australia's import laws since then - WTO, free trade agreements etc. In those days and before, import tariffs were enormous and very easily obtained if you were an Australian manufacturer - all that was needed to obtain a tariff was for a company to say it could manufacture a product, it didn't have to actually do so. Luckily, that nonsence has long gone.
