CNN: Music group tries to suppress piracy study (SDMI)

[ Thanks to certron for this link. ]

The researches who cracked SDMI four separate times in the past year are now being asked to suppress their findings by the SDMI forum, a group formed by several very large record labels and entertainment companies. According to this article, the RIAA's senior attorney has invoked the DMCA to back his request that the group refrain from discussing its findings.

As usual, the truth will out, in this case in the form of unauthorized dissemination of the paper the group's head planned to read.
