Bringing devices ( laptop, hardrive ) upon arrival in Australia

jayrcornelio

just wanna ask lng po kung meron bang kino-confiscate na devices na may lamang mga dina-download na mga movies at software. Sinasabi kasi ng facilitator ng CFO na i-check daw ng Australian officer or customs pagdating ng Australia ang mga devices na dala mo kung meron mga pirated movies,music and softwares?

I got the same concern.. I have a TB of downloaded movies mostly for my son.. anyway naiisip ko na it is time for a new start, and that includes, my torrent life.. hehehe... I will not be bringing those to Oz.

It would also mean, lesser time in front of a tv screen, more time outdoors. Sayang naman ganda ng Oz kung laying kaharap mo pa din e TV..

Personal opinyon lang. Kitakits.

the important question to ask probably is whether your free pirated movies downloaded over the past few years is worth the risk of your expensive immigrant visa...

yun lang! 🙂

Depende kung ma tyempuhan ka ng random check.

Upload mo na lang sa mga file sharing website tpos downloadin mo sa Austrlaia yung mga importateng file or movies mo.

was also thinking about this. Better be safe than sorry. Pero since my gusto pa ako mapanood, I might just copy those in 64gb micro sd.. 😃 makulit lang

Unless talaga mukha kang kahina hinala or perceived pornographic/pedophile suspect ka hahaha

Last ko din na punta nung Dec 2013 wala naman ganitong checking, nagdala din ako laptop kasi mga series ko sa plane ko pinanood dahil airasia lang naman ako.

Pero it's your prerogative na din. Mahirap na baka sumablay pa kasi. 🙂
