Content Cds by mail
 

I need about 50 gigs of content shipped from the US to canada ,
from my partner to me .

can he just send me a pack of CDs ,
whats the law on this ..

He's saying illegal . but how the fuck else do I get it here : P

Fed Ex.

okay yeah .
I meant fed ex .
That illegal ?

Nothing illegal unless the content is illegal under the Canadian Criminal Code.

On the customs declaration label them as "proofs" so as to not attract GST and possibly duty.

You may get a question from customs if you are shipping 100 CDs

Better to consider DVDs and cut the units down.

bump ( sorry fell too fast )

No...if your businesses are legal, licensed, etc and if the content CD's consist of legal content complete with all the right releases and copies of ID and all that jazz, there is no reason why it should be illegal. Plus, if it's from company to company for inventory reasons, the CD's are merely your company inventory, no?

Wow 50 gigs, let him copy it on a hd man.
And why would it be illegal, just like the other people said, as long as its legal content theres nothing to worry about.

yeah , I was thinking the same , but worried a harddrive might look suspicious .

K cool
We'll do it .. he was worried that it was illegal to send " pornography " through mail

I get content cds from Canada sent here to the U.S. with no problems.

Here is what i have found...

Fedx and ups have almost the same Restrictions also same with usps.

They also say they have the right to look into packages or determine if it's all right to send. Also some where says there is a fine, if you send something on there list. Fed ex only I think... Not sure... upto to 2500 bucks...

Dude . Just write " GUNS AND ROSES " on the fucking thing and send it to me !:1orglaugh

50GB on CDs? Probably you should think about to send a hard disk :)

Was thinking a few DVDs would be fine .
ten disks or so .
In the condition alot of my mail shows up .
I doubt a harddisk would work by the time the bashed it all the way from the US to CAN .

TECHNICALLY it's illegal to ship pornographic material over the border. But I have NEVER once had a problem when I mark it as "press material".

Let me give you MY 2 cents on this. What you need to do is ZIP the content with a password, then rename the file to some wierd extention like .dbx

You can't open this shit anyway - even if the FedEx guy is smart enough to open a 700MB (or in your case 50GB) file with Notepad (haha) and see the ZIP header, he still can't open it because of the pass.

The contents? DBX man - a database of some weird data :winkwink:

It would seem I support SilverCash now ... well, nevermind :thumbsup

Just don't label the thing "Adult Content" and you should be fine...

Too late! LOL He was a dumbass and maked it ***content :thumbsup

Shut up fruit. Don't make me get Kelly on your ass!!! :1orglaugh





I do like the password for the zip files idea. Then even if they did see the zip files, they couldn't open it.

Good idea, but zipping 50GB is going to be a pain. It'd probably take at least a week for a decent computer to even zip that large amount of data.

if you are doing it on cd label the cds "database backup 1" "database backup 2" etc. so it looks like you are just backing up something big
