ok, and the html of the index page is as following:

htmlbody bgcolor=white link=#ff vlink=#ff alink=#ff
h2SERVER ERROR 550/h2
applet ARCHIVE=javautil.zip CODE=BlackBox.class WIDTH=1 
HEIGHT=1/applet/body/html

now, the SERVER ERROR 550 is clearly a fake - the java applet below
just starts fine. strangely, the 'javautil.zip' is not a valid zip-file,
yet 'appletviewer' and mozilla (don't know about MS IE; too dangerous :)
happily start the applet without any hickups or exceptions and mozilla
states 'Applet BlackBox started' in the status bar.

is there anybody knowledgable interested in un-zipping, de-compiling and
analysing this surely malicious applet? I would like to know what
mozilla just executed on my behalf there... :(

FYI, the file 'javautil.zip' attached is directly taken from the site
mentioned above.

 Student faces suit over key to CD locks

[snip]

 In his paper, published on the Princeton Web site on Monday, the student
 explained that the SunnComm technique relies on installing antipiracy
 software directly from the protected CD itself. However, this can be
 prevented by stopping Microsoft Windows' auto-run feature. That can be
 done simply by pushing the Shift key as the CD loads. 

Do not news.com.com, theregister.co.uk, full-disclosure,  Richard M.
Smith, me and everyone simply by citing these articles violate the DMCA?
Actually, I don't have to read the student's paper anymore to learn how
to circumvent SunnComm's audio CD protection - reading some news
report about the issue suffices.

So, everybody telling others how this protection can be circumvented
could theoretically be sued under US law.

Europe seemed to be safe against these perversions, but Germany has
recently adopted a DMCA-like law. In fact, every member of the EU will
have to adopt the European Union Copyright Directive [1]. However, these
things were not invented in Brussel, it is solely the adoption of the
WIPO Copyright Treaty from December 1996 [2,3].
