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.
A hidden partition is entirely different proposition as you have plausible deniability, and you’re right - if you really had to pass immigration with it this is the way to do it.
That said, it’s just not worth it for a tv series or what not. Just delete it and download it again.

I’d rather not have some cuntface look through my personal data, thanks
