Both groups basically want the same thing, although there is the fact 
that Dmitry IS innocent and didn't do what the FBI arrested him for. 
(Unless is presentation counts, then you _really_ want to get rid of 
the DMCA since it is unconstitutional)
Dmitry should NOT be "used" by us as a Martyr because this isn't 
his fight, the US is not even his own country.
The idea is to get Dmitry out of jail and home, while at the same time 
addressing the law that put him there.
If anyone wants a martyr THEY should write a circumvention device 
and sell  it in the US (Hey, like Streambox did. Why wasn't Alex 
Telitsin arrested?)

I think that in order for it to be a criminal case (and thus rot (d'oh) in 
jail) you have to profit from the "device".
