From the original article:
Three days after a Princeton graduate student posted a paper on his Web site detailing how to defeat the copy-protection software on a new music CD by pressing a single computer key, the maker of the software said on Thursday it would sue him.
In a statement, SunnComm Technologies Inc. said it would sue Alex Halderman over the paper, which said SunnComm’s MediaMax CD-3 software could be blocked by holding down the “Shift” key on a computer keyboard as a CD using the software was inserted into a disc drive.
Perhaps SunnComm should busy itself with firing its obviously incompetent programmers and technicians instead of trying to stifle the free exchange of ideas. This is yet another reason why the Digital Millennium Copyright Act should be immediately repealed.
