Subject: SunnComm to sue 'Shift key' student for $10m

I'm not a legal expert, but IIRC, Brown vs. Rural Telephone Company
ruled that it was not a violation of any copyright to publish
"information" that belonged to another company...although the issues are
slightly different here, I think the same basis could apply here if
SunComm were to suggest that the information published by the student
was breaking some type of intellectual property rights or such.
