    Could be a hard drive of normal pirated movies and going across the border. But encrypting it would be dumb anyway.

      Also, it’s just a normal security measure. If pirating is illegal in your country it will always be better to encrypt the incriminating material in case of a search warrant.

        You also need to make sure you don’t have a key disclosure law. Otherwise you need plausible deniability.

        How do they know it’s pirated? If I rip my own DVD/blu-ray, put it in folders, and download subtitles. How does that look different from a completed torrent?

          Remember that you have essentially no rights at borders. They don’t have to prove their suspicions. You have to prove innocence.

            I mean you’re right, what I am saying is how does a digital copy of a film draw suspicion? Unless they find the actual torrent files, they have no grounds to even claim you’re doing something. I do not know of any countries outside of North Korea where content cannot be carried around digitally.

            I feel like if they singled you out to dredge your computer/hard drive that you have on you at the border. Then use that search to claim you were transporting pirated content, they likely had you in their sights before hand. The chain of events of finding say a digital movie, and them accusing you of piracy (without torrent files, just the existence of a movie/show digitally) just does not logically compute to me. Id be suspicious they were attempting to target me prior, and that was all they could find “to get something”

          Yeah, no idea. I’ve never even thought about it because no one cares about all that in India (at least usually).
