The first link is fuXored but from the second I gather that you're referring to the “press shift key” to disable the copy protection from an article I read the other day.

It’s all too funny to me when you don’t have to be a hacker, have any hacker software or know shit about coding or decoding or whatever to over through a piece of software protection.

Heh.

I redirected the first link. Maybe this one will hang around long enough to read.

Heh.

Funny in a sad sort sort of way.

The first article mentioned that SunnComm's stock dropped by 25% when the info was published.

They dropped the suit out of sheer embarrassment and didn’t want the bad publicity. :o

And I still think it’s hilarious regardless of SunnComm’s stocks.

What increased SunnComm's stock value for a brief period and dropped it back to normal levels?
