This is how I bought a banned book, legally!
Recently I had a chance to complete a Silverlight survey from Microsoft. Got an Amazon gift voucher. Tried to buy some electronic stuff, but none are shipped to India. So I thought of buying Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. As it is banned in India, the only way is to smuggle it after buying it from some country where it is available or download a pdf. Though I have a pdf, it’s always been my wish to add it to my library. Common sense says that Amazon won’t ship it to a country where it’s banned. Still, I gave it a go. To my surprise, they shipped it. The label on the carton does not say it contains a banned book, invoice inside says, though. This is how I bought a banned book, legally!
