I swear on all I have that I will give every single item I have ever owned to you if you get seized for downloading 2 movies.

I downloaded 5 movies just now, but practically all of my iTunes is illegally obtained. that’s 274 albums total, around 6 are legal.

Btw, Eambos, nice avatar.

You won’t get jumped by the officials, but just to be safe, swallow your laptop.

Thanks!

Oh, and at customs, can they search my computer?

You know you’re coming to the USA, right? They’re not going to strip search you for having an i-pod. As for customs, yes, they can search your computer…but they won’t. Just don’t be belligerent or defiant and you’ll be fine.

You can encrypt the data and hide it in an invisible file if you really want to be sneaky.
