customs: Italy makes the difference!
I think I have the ultimate customs story. It happened in Israel in the
early '80's. A fellow was bringing in a tape containing software from
the IBM SHARE organization. These were various utility programs, etc.,
written by members of the organization and made available free to anyone
who wanted them.
The customs official asked him "how many programs are on the tape?" The
guy responded "284" (or some similar number). The official then
proceeded to multiply 284 by the price of Lotus 1-2-3 (I think about
$150) and asked for duty at a 30% rate on the total! Needless to say,
the guy let them keep his tape.
