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"
