Trainers say the dogs have been notifying customs agents of packages with discs in them. The packages have been opened but so far no pirated movies have been found.</p><p>&quot;We're encouraged by this. It's a new tool against piracy but we welcome it and hope others will adopt such practices [...]&quot;</p><p>Thank goodness London airports aren't swamped with other security concerns an have the time and energy to address this issue.</p> http://connect.educause.edu/display/2516#comments Copyright Copyright Infringement copyright permissions Intellectual Property intellectual property law intellectual property rights Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) Fri, 25 Aug 2006 09:20:46 -0500 StuartYeates 2516 at http://connect.educause.edu
