Everyone has read about the Sklyarov arrest by now. What is interesting is that the FBI met with Adobe personnel and were convinced to arrest a Russian national for what Adobe terms violation of the DMCA. One extremely interesting point on the record is that Kevin Nathansson, Adobe's group manager for its eBooks project told the FBI agent can "purchase a book title in an electronic format known as eBook". I think that by admitting that the consumer purchases the item, the fair use doctrines of U.S. copyright law may cause Adobe some problems. They did not tell the FBI that the customer licenses the eBook. I hope this hangs Adobe out to dry. Interesting to know that a company, not the government, initiated this investigation and is ultimately responsible for any actions that the government takes. Also, Adobe software is illegal in Russia because Russian law requires that purchasers have the right to make archival backups of all software and data used by that software. The DMCA is gonna get you - if Adobe has anything to say about it!
