SDMI crack spat continues

The conflict between the Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) and a Salon.com writer is continuing. When Janelle Brown reported that knowledgeable sources, including somebody inside SDMI, had told him that the SDMI's watermark technology, meant to make music files traceable, had been compromised, the head of the organization responded with accusations of slander. Brown has followed up with another article, this time airing alleged details of the SDMI's angry internal reactions to the reported leaks. Forces at The Register have also involved themselves in the story and have revealed more information from within one of the companies that has designed a watermark process.
