SunnComm Technologies, Inc. announced yesterday morning it would sue first-year graduate student John Halderman over his recent critique of the company's new CD copy-protection method, but by the end of the day SunnComm president and CEO Peter Jacobs said he changed his mind.

While Jacobs's true motivations are suspect (who could win a case based on the contention that hitting a Shift key is insidious) his actions are not, and may very well set a precedent in an all too greedy and foolish industry.
