I see in the paper this morning that there is a move afoot to
empower customs officers to confiscate your iPod and or Laptop and
destroy them if you have pirated music on them. How the hell do
they imagine that they are going to be able to identify the origin
of any music you have on them? Or, is this just the ramblings of
another feeble mind somewhere in the bowls of the bureaucracy?
Very simple! You simply make sure that you carefully record and make
copies of all your iTunes receipts, together with all the receipts
for all the music you have ever purchased on the CDs or vinyl disks
you have bought over the past 30 years or so and might have copied
to your iPod for your own personal enjoyment , and make sure you
take them with you wherever you go - perhaps in your Passport wallet.
What a ridiculous proposition!!
True :
There is another way ! When you leave Australia you supply to customs
a record of the
electronic equipment complete with a list of all the software loaded
on it/them .
Already there is a suggestion that you document electronic gear you
take out so that
on your return there is NO question that you are importing the gear
you took out .
