New Business Model For Music Industry: Sue People

The long term viability of suing people rather than selling music is being proven out in the case of a Princeton student who divulged the information that BMG's new copy protection can be circumvented using the shift key. SunnComm has said they will probably sue the student for "maligning the company's reputation". This is much better (financially) than putting thought into writing software that works, or publishing interesting music.
