The RIAA has begun training dozens of highly sensative "sound hounds"
capable of distinguishing illegally downloaded MP3s from legitimate,
higher-quality store-bought CDs. The specially bred Bassett Hounds receive
over 200 hours of training at a secret location in Baton Rouge before being
deployed in the field.
