Sniff This...
Thinking of taking your cds, dvds, and other types of disc media on your next trip to Malaysia..
Think again.Chances are your return from Kuala Lumpur may be interrupted by this pair, Lucky and Flo, two black labs who have been trained to sniff out polycarbonate like western nations train dogs to detect explosives and drugs. It seems pirating copyrighted media has become such a big business in Malaysia that the authorities are making an attempt to curb some of the trade.
Anyone who has ever dealt with labs knows that they are about the sweetest dogs in the world but they are also very dedicated to pleasing their handlers and are quite capable of making a big fuss!This primitive technology unfortunately hasn’t advanced to the point where the labs can tell the difference between what is copyrighted intellectual property and what is bootlegged..

How do people survive who make lucre by others ideas, if there is no piracy of intellectual property.Parasitism too is a fact of life.
Nice blog Jip.
So much for taking the entertainment with you. Gives a whole new meaning to 'going local', n'est ce pas?
