MPAA training police dogs to sniff out DVDs

Thanks davemania for linking this story in our Back Page News section of the forums.

The Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), express delivery company FedEx and HM Revenue & Customs, has joined forces to launch an exciting new initiative to help combat DVD piracy.

As part of a project promoted by the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA), FACT instigated the training of two black Labradors named Lucky and Flo by one of the world's leading experts in the field whose other clients include police, fire and rescue service.

These DVDs are often smuggled by criminal networks involved in large scale piracy operations from around the world."
