Let me say this a different way: having any media on your machine whatsoever is now "funny business". If you have movies ripped to your laptop for your kids to watch, as I do, then you can legally be held under suspicion of piracy, and your property can accordingly be confiscated. The burden is on you to satisfy whatever requirements the government may have for the media.

My answer was just to help someone stay out of trouble. Trying to mislead border control is a bad idea.
