A Princeton graduate student said on Monday that he has figured out a way to defeat new software intended to keep music CDs from being copied on a computer — simply by pressing the Shift-key.
In a paper posted on his Web site late Monday, John Halderman said the MediaMax CD3 software developed by SunnComm Technologies Inc. (OTC BB:STEH.OB – news) could be defeated on computers running the Windows operating system by holding down the Shift key, disabling a Windows feature that automatically launches the encryption software on the disc.
Halderman said the protection could also be disabled by stopping the driver the CD installs when it is first inserted into a computer’s drive.
Computers running Linux (news – web sites) and older versions of the Mac operating system are unable to run the software and are able to copy the disc freely, he said.
The CD in question, Anthony Hamilton’s “Comin’ From Where I’m From,” was released by BMG’s Arista label in late September. Music retailers praised the release, which BMG touted as a breakthrough in the industry’s efforts to prevent music piracy.

The recent surge in singer-songwriters has given pop music a certain level of respect it once had, before losing it to over-sensationalized choreography and flashy outfits for teens. The acoustic rhythms and lyrical sincerity of the genre are free from the over-produced work more elaborate pop-rock stars inevitably succumb to. While still simple in structure, this reflection back to the roots of songwriting has resurrected an industry plagued with turmoil and profit-loss with it’s little touch of integrity. And now, as The Incredible Moses Leroy is beginning to prove, the category no longer must be synonymous with a solo mic and acoustic guitar, but free to embrace all of our creative contemporary outlets.
