Record Panel Threatens Researcher With Lawsuit

By JOHN MARKOFF

AN FRANCISCO, April 23 - The recording industry has threatened a Princeton computer scientist with legal action if his research group presents a paper at an academic conference this week describing how it is possible to circumvent an industry music-protection system.

The threat of legal action was made in an April 9 letter to Dr. Edward W. Felten by Matthew Oppenheim, the head of the litigation department for the Recording Industry Association of America. Mr. Oppenheim is also secretary of the Secure Digital Music Initiative, a copyright-protection group sponsored by the music industry.
