Dogs that can smell out cd's now? Wow..
What if you do have legally purchased cd's though, I don't think every visitor to the country/out of the country that is carrying a cd, to have their bags searched.
Another thing.. What if people copied their LEGALLY owned cds because they didn't want to risk losing the original ones, now that would take alot of explaining to do.

What are they going to come up with next? A dog that can sniff out usb flash disks and mp3 players? Yeah right. I'd like to see that - how can someone prove that they have legally owned songs on it even if they did rip them from their legally owned cd. I reckon this is all a big mistake and a great way to chuck people in jail

The new seems like unbeliveable ! Does MP3 , USB Flash or illegal CD/DVD have a special flavor
make dog do that! IF some dogs could do it, How to identify the CD legal or illegal . Someone maybe
copy CD to protect his orginal one. I could copy the file by computer or HD or any flash memory card ! That still have a lot of ways to bring out the files !. The idea is good , but not good enough

Haha... I'll be more wary carrying DVD's through the airport next time then! I can't believe the extent that people are going to these days for this kind of thing. I mean stopping a bit of traffic of pirated DVD's isn't going to resolve the issue at all. Unlike drugs, people can burn a DVD in any part of the world and stopping people from transferring them from country to country is in no way going to change that.

Sure, I can sort of understand the logic. Someone could take a thousand copies of the latest flick into another country and sell them all, but where as drugs go up in huge values when travelling from country to country, DVD's don't - therefore it is only a very small part of the problem against DVD pirating.

Still it is amusing to know that people could get sniffed down by a dog at an airport for having... not drugs!... not fruit!... but DVD's!

Sorry Sir, I wont bring Harry Potter with me next time.

It is intended to be a good idea but it is also out of reality in my point of view. The world is full of sotores that sells pirates cds and dvds with shameless. I tinhk this is cds and dvds producers's fault. Why this things need to be so expensive?
I'm totally against this abusives prices. I'm sure Madonna, Shakira, 50cent and wathever are already reach enough for the rest of their lives and I'm also sure taht they will be more and more reach day by day. Even if their cds were sold with lower prices!
