Taken from today's (Oct 10, 03) LA Times Business pages:

Three days after a Princeton University 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 computer key, the software maker said it would sue him.

SunnComm Technologies Inc. said Alex Halderman reached "false conclusions" in 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.

SunnComm, which trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, said it had lost more than $10 million of its market value since Halderman published his report.
