problems at customs for bringing software?
Hi,
Has anyone experienced any problems with australian customs for bringing his own personal software (maybe not entirely legal
)?

If I'm reading you right, I've heard they're quit strict on porn. If they find it among your shipping, they just confiscate it, which is ironic, seeing you can buy all the grot you want legally once you are there from a licensed sex shop!
Good luck, and, er, any tips, give me a shout...
P.S If I'm not reading you right, everyone please ignore this and leave me in peace to be very red-faced!

Vanou,
I take it you mean, copied software and not original bought material. Good question, as I'm sure we've all got some dodgy stuff.

LOL, Porn.
I think the post was probably about copies of windows and stuff like that. lol i,m still laughing that someone would pack porn hehe,
Tell you what tho, last year We went to Florida for our Hols, and at customs they stoped a black girl and emptied out her hand luggage, to reveal a MASSIVE black Dildo
:scared: :scared:
true, I did,nt see it at first but the missus did and nudged me to look, well as always I got caught looking by the girl and I was as embarrased as her and quickly looked away, hehe funny tho she was on our flight.

good question...
Hi all
I erm......... know someone who may have a bit of software on CD and PC.
When I, erm sorry they, ship it to Oz has anyone heard of it being confiscated, or worse them getting charged??
None of this stuff is is like Gavin B's collection, honest.
Just copies of regular applications and games.
A concerned friend.
