Has The MPAA Gone Barking Mad ?

Its seems that the MPAA is going to the dogs folks

The MPAA knows a good thing when it sees one. Stories of computerless single mums being dragged screaming and penniless to the courthouse for allowing their daughters to listen to music online are all grist to its mill.
Its campaign to make people pay for stuff they can get for nothing thrives on the oxygen of publicity.

And so when British Copyright Cops at Fact (Federation Against Copyright Theft) recruited out a couple of hounds to sniff out pirate DVDs, the MPAA wasn't slow in wading on to take some credit
For the story Reuters carries today of a pair of dogs named Lucky and Flo, who are embarking on an MPAA publicity tour, seems remarkably familiar.

Could this be the lucky and Flo that back in May, following an eight-month training period, were deployed in England's Stansted Airport?

Yes folks it seems that the two sniffer dogs are now scheduled to appear magically as things often do in Hollywood on a world tour instead of working in the UK sniffing out food, oops I meant Dvds that may smell pirated

can they smell the difference between a vacation video shot in the caribbean and pirated copy of 'pirates of the caribbean' (for instance a dvd-r with the single word 'caribbean' written on it)? i can see this turning ugly really quick....

The dogs failed to find a single pirate dvd last time, no doubt they will repeat this fantastic feat in the US, of course the fact that they are using the exact same dog picture and names could mean that there is no tour and they just wanted to scare folks
