An interesting note, the Elcomsoft trial may be (I hope) the beginning of the end for the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). The jury acquitted the accused, and since it was a criminal proceeding Adobe is stuck with the verdict. It would be wonderful to see the whole DMCA go down this way, in a series of court cases since it would be much more difficult to pass this horrible law as a re-write after more people (like the jurors) are aware of it.

"Jury foreman Dennis Strader said the jurors agreed ElcomSoft's product was illegal but acquitted the company because they believed the company didn't mean to violate the law."

I think that a lot of other litigation will go the same way. It's a real shame that this even has to occur...talk about money in politics; what an example of the best law(makers) money can buy.

I saw that recently Hillary Rosen of RIAA was with a group of students and asked how many of them bought music because they could download it. When a majority of them raised their hands in the affirmative, she was left speechless. And that's as it should be.
