Comment The media has come..and a twist (Score 1) 462

Well, not all media is staying silent. Anyone who watches techtv has seen the reports on this, but they have been dwindling..we need more support for Dmitry!We, as the intelligent portion of the population, weild great power, but only together. If we unite and cry out in our anger no one may ignore us. Write to congress-people, write to newspapers, recruit every techie you can find. Support yourself and others in our fight! The DMCA is twisted and wrong, not only for everyone, but especially for Dmitry. Some points about this...

1. Dmitry is an employee of a russian company, he was assigned the programming task

2. Under Russian law it is required that software include tools to make a backup copy-which makes Adobe's software illegal ((can't wait for adobe programmers to be arrested in Russia!))

3. The software was cleary intended for users that had already purchased an E-book legally, check the documentation at Elcommsoft's website

4. This software was distributed only is Russia, the only copies in the US were transported by individuals not affiliated with Dmitry's employers, Elcommsoft

The DMCA is ridiculous and oppressive. To quote Monty Python "Oh! Help! Look at this! I'm being oppressed!"
