that this did the rounds. I called every department that I could get through to. Technically it is correct. Actually they said that as they are all copies then you shouldn't be able to bring any back into Australia. The problem that they are having is that if they totally ban us from brining back copy DVD's then they would have to do the same for all copy goods (bags, shirts, watches etc etc). In the end they said to be sensible and only bring back what can be deemed to be for personal use. Any multiple copies (per family) can be taken away as they believe they can be for re-sale. They also said that it is at the descretion of the customs officer that you get as to how far they take this limit. We have always come back with the belief that we could lose some or all of our DVD's and any that we do get back with are a bonus. In saying that we have never even been questioned about them even when I have pointed them out.
Good Luck and have a wonderful holiday!!!
