I brought about 80 CDs of music and programs but nobody looked in my bags here, they xrayed or whatever they do at LAX where I had to change planes, but nobody said anything.

As it turned out I could have gotten all that stuff when I got here anyway, but you never know.

Uh. So having stuff on the Hard Drive is fine, but if its on an optical disc its bad?


They probably don't give a hoot if it doesn't look like you're going to sell them (i.e., you have them all packaged in jewel cases with fake holo stickers on them). I'm just friggin' paranoid. I'd rather take a clean HD that's had numerous Gutmann 35-pass wipes to it through customs than a HD with nothing more than my personal correspondence and family photos on it (but those would go on DVD, not a HD - I just don't want to risk damage to a HD in transit). Nevermind pirated software. I wouldn't bring that cross-border. Just paranoid. That's all. If it suits you, then do it.

They are cracking down on commercial sites like Bugz right now but, small fries like us still don't have much to worry about for the time being.
