MP3
I've heard that the Australian law is very strict about copyright. Is it
true that we can't enter in Australia with mp3 on our laptop or mp3-player? It's hard to beleive... |

I went to Sydney for a week from New Zealand and then home to Canada via the
US in October. No problems with my mp3 player. I doubt if any of the customs officals even knew what it was. Dwayne |

This may be true at customs, but many if not most times, airport security will want you to power up electronic devices (laptops, cameras, camcorders) to ensure they are legit and not things that go boom. Don't completely wear down any battery charge before a flight, for that reason. Hasn't happened to me in Australia. They do require notebooks to be removed from the case, but I've never been asked to turn it on. What would be the point? In the US, however, this happens about 20% of the time. |
