As I understand it, it's legal to import copyright material as long as the
copying, had it occurred within the UK, would have been legal under UK law=
=2E
Therefore no, you can't, as it would have been illegal to copy it in the UK=
=2E
This is why it's illegal to bring back bootleg CDs from Malta, even though
they are not illegal there=2E It is also illegal to bring back hooky MP3s=
 that
you have downloaded with file sharing software while in Spain=2E
