Hi all, i was wondering if one could pack pirated dvds from asia when shipping stuff to qatar. Would these be confiscated or would there be fines to pay? Thanks in advance!

Apple, Not a lot...just a handful. Have any QLers taken fake dvds before and lived to tell? Aren't there any morally depraved movie watchers out there who weren't virtuous enough to add a few cents to Tom Cruise's dwindling bank account? What do you think...bring them or leave them behind?

They may well be confiscated and fair enough too. I had many legitimate DVDs such as Love Actually, Notting Hill, Friends, etc taken when importing my stuff but I did get them back after they had been checked for content. Pirate DVDs are illegal and immoral and although most people have the odd one, they usually keep it to themselves.
