Have you ever got trouble with pirated content at border ?

"Smuggling" pirated data (especially software) through customs, is considered a
customs offence in many jurisdictions, just as if you had a fake Vuitton handbag.
That's how they get you, not by treating it as a civil infringement of copyright.

They don't do a lot of it in the U.S. yet but they're trying to get it into each trade
treaty as they come up [so the U.S. will mainstream it and thus do a lot more of it.]

As it is now, somebody has to make a complaint or run a trial enforcement as a
feasibility "study" of what enforcement method is the flavor of the week that time.

I remember the BSA running such an experiment with customs once but that was
quite a while ago and I doubt even google has it anymore. ‌ It was probably when
they were still developing their custom forensic software and license auditing tools.

Holy crap! Shut up! You haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about.

No one, and I mean no one, has ever been stopped at any airport or any other border and accused of 'smuggling' pirated content over the border. It has never and will never happen.

Show even one documented example of it and I'll retract everything I've said, but I know you can't, so shut up.

a better question is why are you two not in the void?

the topic is: Have you ever got trouble with pirated content at border.

It would be logistically too complicated. A couple of pirated staff on your hard drive isn't worth the time.

Well, I got through customs just fine with my pirated burnt application discs.

It's not like it's cocaine.

I believe they don't really care about this kind of stuff. They are looking for drugs, guns and other dangerous things.
