DMCA Stupidity
Student faces suit on key to CD locksOh, this one is going to be beautiful to watch.
Huge corporation spends millions developing an anti-copy technology for cds.
Princeton student demonstrates that it can be bypassed by holding down the Shift key.
DMCA makes it illegal to communicate circumvention techniques.
Company will probably sue student.
If this won't show how ridiculous the DMCA is, nothing will.
It could be beautiful, it could be the thing that sends every US geek to Canada... we'll see.
