Dogs sniff DVDs and VCDs - Malaysia in fighting piracy
Two sniffer dogs will be on duty in fighting against music and movie piracy in Malaysia. Hah, what a brilliant idea! If dogs can sniff bomb, why not the polycarbonate disks! According to ZDNet, Malaysia is the first country to use this method.
“The arrival and deployment of Lucky and Flo will make Malaysia the first country in the world to test the capability of dogs in detecting optical disks in hidden compartments or shipments,” he said at Malaysia’s biggest air-cargo center, in Sepang outside Kuala Lumpur.

Lucky and Flo are the name of the dogs, which has been trained in Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, the dogs can only sniff the disks, but cannot distinguish between, CDs and DVDs, burned and replicated disks, or legitimate and pirate disks. But it is very useful in looking the disks in unregistered containers.
In my opinion, the most effective way to get rid of piracy is to sell the disks at the same price with the pirated ones. Maybe they can produce two version of disks, high quality and low quality. The low quality is the same quality as the pirated disks with the same price. At least they can still make money with it, and the consumers have more choices to buy the videos or musics.
