Dogs trained to sniff out fake DVDs

[sempai]

Two black Labradors have become the world's first dogs to be trained to search for counterfeit DVDs, a trade organisation have said.

The dogs, Lucky and Flo, have been trained to detect discs to help combat DVD piracy, the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) said.

Fact has joined forces with express delivery company FedEx and HM Revenue & Customs to crack down on DVD piracy. As part of a project promoted by the Motion Picture Association, Fact organised for the dogs to undergo training with a world expert in the field.

A Fact spokesman said the dogs had been taught to identify DVDs that might be located in boxes, envelopes or other packaging, as well as discs concealed amongst other goods which would them be sold illegally in the UK.

thats not the right link the link goes to an article 10% of oceans absorbed into earth SEMPAI. But i still dont believe that u can train a dog to search for counterfeit dvds. Unless all of the retail dvds are coated w/ a specific scent. I assumed all dvds are made of the same thing so how would u distinguish the smell of one from another.
