[Alex Katalov]

Hi Tom,

Unfortunately, my English is not so good to describe all what was
there, but I hope that Seth will help me!

I can say only that total discussion was not too long, and the time
was limited - it seems that judge had learn most from the previously filed
motions (you can see them at http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/US_v_Elcomsoft/)
and today he wants only to get an additional comments and clear some
small details.

tp> Hi, Alex:  Has there been any discussion that you're aware of that focuses on 
tp> what happens with this DMCA law, in terms of governmental agencies needing to 
tp> use your products to "backup" technical ebooks?  For universities that need 
tp> your products to "backup" research ebooks?  For libraries that need your 
tp> products to "backup" their library inventories?  The assumption is, that 
tp> Adobe intends to move down the road, and have everything on its eBooks, thus 
tp> making much money and profits, right?

tp> I suppose the same sort of question goes to the CBDTPA, and what impact it 
tp> has on governmental use of "cp" "cat" and other utilities.

tp> Thanks,
tp> Tom
