So how and WHY is it banned hear? We are not the U.K (EU) how can they tell us what we can watch unless.... You put the pieces together.
The internet is a global lavatory wall, a Rabelaisian mixture of truth, lies, insanity and humour. I felt its power and madness this week, when an excerpt from my new film, Unlawful Killing, was leaked on to YouTube and seized on by US conspiracy theorists, who immediately began claiming that the CIA had murdered Princess Diana...
How can it be legal to censor or ban information?

Rather than 'putting the pieces together' and coming up with some stupid, paranoid fantasy, you could just do a bit of googling, and find the film-maker's own account of why the film is banned in some jurisdictions.
Unlawful Killing – the film the British won't get to see by Keith Allen in The Guardian.

You'll have to use your finger to read the rest.
Ok well the article you linked to says nothing about that so I don't see how it was relevant. The article from the OP already explains that. But I see what you are saying, the film has not been "banned" in the US.
The point is, quite simply, that Allen & co. fear or have been advised that suits could be brought against them in the American courts as well.
I wonder if anyone on ATS has ever been sued for making claims? I'm serious... what is the difference between putting the claims on a message board and putting them in a film.
The film contains actionable claims against various people, and opens the makers to the threat of multiple lawsuits. Clearly the claims are not supported by any proof that will stand up in court.

Great job US Government. Efficient as always. Glad our tax dollars are well spent.
According to the Sun, the filmmakers could not secure insurance to cover liability for potential lawsuits over the film, which first aired at the Cannes Film Festival.
A spokesman for the film told the publication, "'Unlawful Killing' has been sold all around the world. But there was a specific form of insurance needed by the U.S. distributors to cover them for their French and U.K. offices. This proved impossible to secure. The film has been withdrawn in perpetuity."
