So, we demand that...

1) Adobe immediately withdraw its complaint against Dmitry Sklyarov.

2) Adobe immediately and officially request that the US Attorney's
   Office drop the criminal case against Dmitry Sklyarov and release
   him from custody. 

3) Adobe pledge to refrain from filing criminal complaints under the
   Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the future.

4) Adobe acknowledge that it is a disservice to its partners, its
   customers, and the scientific community to silence legitimate
   criticisms of its copy-protection schemes.

5) Adobe pledge its support for open and fair peer review of all Adobe
   copy protection schemes, particularly encrypted PDF and eBook.

6) Adobe pledge to work with the scientific and technical communities
   to amend the eBook architecture to preserve fair use rights for end
   users.

I think this is a small list of straightforward and very
middle-of-the-road demands. They are all within Adobe's power to
effect, and they do not put Adobe into any untenable positions.
