MPAA training Dogs to Sniff Out DVDs
Found on Slashdot on Wednesday, 10 May 2006
The dogs, Lucky and Flo, faced their first test at the FedEx UK hub at Stansted Airport. "FedEx was glad to assist in Lucky and Flo's first live test in a working situation. They were amazingly successful at identifying packages containing DVDs, which were opened and checked by HM Customs' representatives. While all were legitimate shipments on the day, our message to anyone thinking about shipping counterfeit DVDs through the FedEx network is simple: you're going to get caught." Kinda makes me thing twice about shipping anything through FedEX. Seriously, this is like training drug dogs to find plastic bags.
What, now you're not even allowed to send DVDs via snail mail? An easy solution would be to avoid FedEx and use a different service who doesn't work hand in hand with the industry.
