As far as I know, games seems to be fine but alot of software have copyright laws on them.

It all depends on the custom officer. If he very on the ball, then he can actually confiscate your software or charge you under infringment of the copyright law. What penalty I dun know However for a few pieces, most officers will not be bothered.

Maybe now the emphasis is on cigarettes and so many customs offcers also just close one eye on DVDs. Also if only about 10 pcs, maybe the custom officer just too lazy to make a report so just let you go. There is still a risk factor involved.

Agree. Besides the censurship issues, the DVDs are also violating the individual Intellectual Property (IP) of the flim companies. The fines for these IP violations are much more than the censurship fines I think.

The market for DVD's is almost good as gone soon! The Holiday Plaza's DVD cost RM6 to RM9. Cost to bring in altogether cost RM12 ... Its not that attractive anymore! ... The previous time I went It only cost RM9 each Minimum 20 pcs to bring in to SIngapore! Some more the quality is deterioring ... Code 9 looks like Code RED!!! I would rather rent a dvd at Singapore ... or just download from Internet!

I am still getting my DVDs from my regular supplier at RM5 for normal movies. Porno cost either RM7 or RM8. Delivery charges changes depends on wind. If strong wind, then RM3. If not, then RM2. However these rates are bcos I have been giving him business for the last couple of years. He will always tell me which movie is clear and which is not. IMHO, his service really quite ok.

I also have kaki who supplies me with clear movie, and uncensored XXX japanese, korean, asian movie... just got a few discs lately. Price is reasonable and they do delivery to Singapore too but was told that it is a little hard nowaday to come in.
