The ADA applies to employers, public entities, public transit, and public 
accomodations like restaurants, hotels, schools, etc.

Adobe is not a public agency, nor do they have "DMCA prosecutorial power".

The information found at this site provides a simple introduction -

but some people's brains are so full of politics that facts are no longer 
interesting.

There probably is some interesting work to be done by setting up 
interference between the ADA and the DMCA, but it's unlikely to have much 
to do with freeing Dmitry, and hence is probably more appropriate for some 
other forum.
