Faced with public outcry, Adobe has folded, withdrawn from the prosecution of Dmitry Sklyarov and asked that he be released. Though, in reality, that means diddly squat because the case is a criminal case (you see, the DMCA makes breaking copy protection a criminal offence, much like drug dealing or rape), and it's the Department of Justice that is prosecuting the case, without Adobe's involvement. Anyway, the next time someone tries something like this, they too would be looking at some quality time in a small room with a 300-pound man named Bubba.
