Indonesian moving to Australia soon, I’m just concerned my laptop/phone will be checked for pirated content.

The general rule of thumb I’ve seen around the internet is “encrypt your drive”, which is easy enough. But the other approach typically says “bring a burner phone / laptop” which of course isn’t viable in my case.

Can anyone confirm on the legitimacy of these claims? I know I pirate light (““light”” compared to the vets here), but I’m just so paranoid that I could be held up and sent back home, because this might be my only shot.

    Damn, didn’t think this would gain this much traction. Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

    Judging from the fact that I’m going with a Student Visa, I guess my best course of action is just uploading it to a cloud service. Might not be the most bandwidth efficient, yes, but sure as hell has the best chance of succeeding.

    Again, many thanks for the suggestions, seafarers! May your ship sail smooth, mateys.
