Return of the shift key

[Kaervak]

From slashdot.org

"The Importance of writes "A couple of weeks ago BMG released an audio CD with a new type of DRM. Earlier this week, a computer science graduate student at Princeton wrote a report showing the DRM was ineffective - it could easily be defeated by use of the 'shift' key. The stock of the DRM company (SunnComm) has since fallen by 20%. Now, SunnComm plans to sue the student under the DMCA and claim that SunnComm's reputation has been falsely damaged. According to SunnComm's CEO, 'No matter what their credentials or rationale, it is wrong to use one's knowledge and the cover of academia to facilitate piracy and theft of digital property."


Yes, let's sue when we make a garbage software solution fully knowing it doesn't work and even admitting it. Sigh.

If you'll excuse me, I now must commit sepukku. I really should read every single post in original threads for updates so I can avoid the repost brigade.
