    You won’t be charged with entering illegally, but staying illegally.

    You won’t be charged with the import, but for posession. Well I guess for exports, if you procure it and export it quickly and then delete/destroy it from your posessions, its fine. But import? Nah. Whoever end with its possession is fucked.

    And for export, they could just charge for the creation of it without approval, not the export itself.

    Piracy? Yea they’ll just prosecute for posession.

    Tax fraud? They’ll just shut down IRS for duration of the purge so you can’t even file it.

      Possession of pirated material isn’t illegal. It’s the distribution that gets you. That’s why torrenting needs a VPN but streaming is perfectly legal (for the viewer)
