The RIAA/MPAA is just doing what they were paid to do... Which is to use the money to bribe politicians into protecting the RIAA/MPAA's members from -perceved- piracy. This is so funny...you just can't make this stuff up. Using dogs to search for pirated dvd's kind of looks like they want the same results as "the War on Drugs". Wonder if and when they'll start using the "other" tools in that kit. Like the one over here stateside that lets Law Enforcement sieze all your assets if you are arrested on drug charges... Does nothing to eliminate the problem, yet makes lawyers and LAWMAKERS ever richer, and farther removed from the same public they're sworn to represent. Now, now, no incitement to violence please.

This will not stop until we shoot up a few of their shareholders' meetings.

I list the box's manifest as "blank disks". They have no probable cause to open the box because a dog sniffed out what is on the manifest. This is just more intimidation FUD BS from the RIAA.
