Bringing devices ( laptop, hardrive ) upon arrival in Australia

edited October 2014 in General
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! :)
