As it was, the security community and interested geeks were probably the only ones who would have noticed the issue, but now the whole world knows. Can you imagine Johnny Slowpoke, who knows little to nothing about computers, reading the article and saying, "Honey, look at this. Some company made copy protection for CDs that was so lame that all you have to do is hold down the shift key to bypass it. Can you imagine that? How stupid is that? And now they're suing the student who pointed it out. What a bunch of dorks!"
