Pirated D.V.D.'s are illegal in Australia, so if you are stopped you could get into trouble. A popular TV show over here is Border Security and one man was stopped and his D.V.D.'s were seized -- they were Porno. ones , tho'. One thing, if you do bring any D.V.D.'s in from America, they may not play here in Australia as we use a different television system here. Some DVD players will convert the American system to Australian, but not all will. For instance, I had to convert our D.V.D. player to allow it to play discs from overseas.

Are you honestly going to try and be that stupid to take over pirated DVD's to another country? Obviously you'll get fined and in huge trouble.

If your husband wants them, let him carry it.
