Malaysia to Illegal DVDs: Release the Hounds

Malaysia has an answer to critics who say it doesn't take movie piracy seriously: dogs. Two of them. The male Labradors from Northern Ireland, named Paddy and Manny -- trained to smell chemicals used in DVD production – will become the world's first permanent canine anti-piracy unit next month. The dogs can't smell the difference between real and pirated DVDs, but they can direct officers to hidden caches of discs.
