What if you believe (correctly) that a corrupt government intends to punish you exorbitantly beyond reason for possession of these zines? Is it still immoral to move the zines? Is it so immoral that it therefore justifies 30 years of imprisonment for moving the zines? |

Well the belief is incorrect, since to date nobody was punished for possessing them, and there is no reason to suspect anyone would be.
> Is it still immoral to move the zines?
Morality and legality are totally separate things. Whether it is immoral depends on which system of morality you subscribe to, although i think you could make a reasonable argument that it was immoral in most popular morality systems.
That said, i think your framing does a disservice. The question is, is it immoral to cover up a crime. The method used to do the cover up is irrelavent.
> therefore justifies 30 years
I tend to think 30 years is a bit steep, personally.
