[Cross-posted] Don't know whether to laugh or cry when reading this! SunComm, who make a copy protection mechanism for audio CDs, is suing a student who has revealed how to bypass the copy protection mechanism: by the complex process of holding down the Shift key when inserting the CD into the drive! The student is facing a $10M lawsuit and possible prosecution under the DMCA. This whole story is so bizarre and the statements from SunComm so fantastic that I took it for a farce when I first read it. However, it happens to be true. Read it yourself at: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/33322.html Some excerpts: SunnComm has threatened Princeton PhD student Alex Halderman with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for exposing a key weakness in the company's latest CD copy protection technology, MediaMax CD3. The company said today it will take legal action against Halderman for revealing how MediaMax CD3 can be bypassed by holding down a Windows PC's Shift key when a protected disc is inserted. Doing so temporarily disables Windows' Autorun facility - which many Reg readers have turned off anyway, they tell us - which prevents a small installation app from being launched off the CD. That software installs a device driver which detects the presence of a copy-protected disc and prevents attempts to copy such CDs. ... "Critical reviews written in part as an attempt to pressure the record industry into abandoning further development of technically protected audio CDs are ethically suspect when based on inaccurate assumptions," says SunnComm - without stating what those assumptions are or in what way they are inaccurate. ... From: http://news.com.com/2100-1025_3-5089168.html?tag=nefd_top On Thursday, SunnComm CEO Peter Jacobs said the company plans legal action and is considering both criminal and civil suits. He said it may charge the student with maligning the company's reputation and, possibly, with violating copyright law that bans the distribution of tools for breaking through digital piracy safeguards. "We feel we were the victim of an unannounced agenda and that the company has been wronged," Jacobs said. "I think the agenda is: 'Digital property should belong to everyone on the Internet.' I'm not sure that works in the marketplace." [end] ``Distribution of tools for breaking through digital piracy safeguards''? Now you Shift key is a violation of the DMCA? Bwaahaaa!

[ Mani, please compose a new mail from scratch instead of replying to an existing mail on a different subject. It plays havoc with threading on my email client.] mod_ssl is available ONLY as a patch to the apache source. This is unlike most other Apache modules which can be compiled independently. That is the very reason why mod_ssl releases are tied down to Apache releases. You have to specify --with-apache to specify the Apache source so that patching can happen. You have to recompile Apache enabling ssl after that. No escaping these. The error message that you are getting is probably because the apxs script is not found. The INSTALL for mod_ssl states that simply using apxs works only when you are upgrading or when mod_sssl is already installed as a DSO. Relevant portion below: [...] Upgrading with APXS (EXPERTS ONLY) __ Once you've built and installed Apache with mod_ssl as a DSO (libssl.so) you can easily upgrade this libssl.so file with a stand-alone built procedure as long as the Extended API (EAPI) didn't change and you've OpenSSL installed somewhere. For this you can use the following procedure: $ cd mod_ssl-2.8.x-1.3.x ALL $ ./configure \ ALL --with-apxs[=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs] \ ALL --with-ssl=/path/to/opensslALL $ make ALL $ make install ALL $ make distclean ALL This will build mod_ssl locally inside the pkg.modssl/ directory and then upgrades your existing libssl.so file. This approach is also interesting for package vendors. Because those can create an Apache+EAPI package (with the use of --with-eapi-only) and a APXS-based mod_ssl package (with the use of --with-apxs).
