- zamalek 4y agoNew Zealand if I'm remembering correctly.

- PradeetPatel 4y agoNew Zealand had one of the strictest anti-piracy law in the world circa 2000-2011. Its there mostly to appease Hollywood and the US film industry iirc.

I find it hard to believe NZ customs would be interested in music, pirated or not. Try bring a bit of fruit or meat though, that gets them fired up.

Public enemy #1, for a file hosting service that happened to be a part of the standard infrastructure for piracy. They went after him almost like they did Assange. I’m sure there are dozens of equivalent services now but the government doesn’t even bother keeping up. The market adapted in the form of streaming, subscriptions, and services.
