Suit threats over Princeton CD paper dropped
Reuters News Service

LOS ANGELES - A software company, citing academic freedom, has backed away
from a threat to sue a Princeton student who published details on how to
thwart its CD copy-protection technology.

Peter Jacobs, the chief executive of SunnComm Technologies Inc. , told
Reuters today the company disputed the conclusion by Princeton student
Alex Halderman that its software was "irreparably flawed," but would not
pursue the matter because it did not want to chill academic research.
