shift key violates dmca
alex halderman, a computer science grad student who revealed that an audio cd copy-protection mechanism could be defeated by simply pressing the shift key, is now being sued for his revelation. i recommend avoiding all use of the shift key, which may now be illegal, until this matter can be resolved.
well, I don't think they can make using the Shift key illegal without getting Microsoft in on the action. I think the company is just pissed off to be caught out making lousy promises and worry they may have to give back the money they were paid. No one likes to be PROVEN lame, especially by a college kid.
