This one's come up before. Apparently, there's one production technique used by the *big* duplicating houses that have to produce a million copies of Batman, and another different one used by the counterfeiters that have a press run of 35,000 pirated copies of Batman. The dogs are trained to recognize the scent of the small-press-run DVD blanks. Yes, this *can* false-positive for a legit duplicating house that runs off 20K copies of some limited-interest DVD like Ubuntu install disks or similar - but those almost always have attached labels saying "Ubuntu" rather than "Batman". Certainly a much saner approach than the MPAA/RIAA business model of treating the customer base like criminals...
