Copied CDs and DVDs
Is there a problem with the Customs or other authorities regarding the copied CDs and DVDs that you bring with you to Australia?
Besides the original CDs and DVDs, I have around 30 CDs and 30 DVDs that I recorded from various sources (TV, friends, copied from other originals, etc.), and would like to know whether there is any copyright restriction to bringing them with me.
Would I have any problem with any authorities?

A quite expensive box set & various others were "mislaid" along the line.

However, I'm in possession of a 20th anniversary copy of DSOTM signed to me from Roger Waters which I carried in hand luggage, so I'd recommend taking valuables with you on the flight
