So, does that mean Dmitry can(is going to) be in jail for awhile?
I'm not a lawyer and I don't know those law; but all I know is that, it is
wrong to keep someone like Dmitry in jail.

With Adobe backing down now; There "might" be a chance that Dmitry can be
released.
However, it seems like US can/might press charges on Dmitry (can someone
clarify this for me?)

Let's see how does it goes tomorrow, if things doesn't work out. We should
really start another protest.

'cause I really don't think Dmitry should spend anymore nights in jail
instead of  with his family.

> The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) drafted an
international treaty that requires signatory nations to enforce particular
rights in their own laws. Some believed that further U.S. legislation was
necessary to implement U.S. adherence to the treaty. The result was the
DMCA. That is why it is sometimes referred to as the WIPO Treaty
Implementing Legislation.

People all over the world meet during WTO meetings to protest Globalization.
Why? Well, there are many reasons. But know this - they are making laws and
signing treaties without your input. The DMCA is a result of one of these
treaties. Here in the US the arrests and cases on this site are just the
first effects of these meetings. Take a look at this

> Look to history for your answer. Quite some time ago, our leaders met to
discuss policy and create laws. These laws became The Constitution of the
United States of America. If you have reviewed our Cases section you will
see that our laws are being changed to accomodate the laws passed by the
(WTO). Dmitry Sklyarov is in jail

> Copyright, in the United States, is an attempt to maximize the
intellectual resources available to all. People who create works -
literature, art, software programs, music, and others - are given a limited
right to keep people from making unauthorized copies of their work. This
allows them to sell copies for a profit and provides a financial incentive
to create more works.
