I think there should be Official Debian CDs with non-US programs on them.
The images for these CDs would of course need to be on a host outside the
USA. That way, people that don't live in the USA will not have the problem
of not getting non-US on CD. Why should the whole world suffer from a
stupid law that exists in only one country?

It can only really be a part of main if it's shipped on Official Debian
CDs, IMNSHO.
