That is exactly what is happening.  (1) They are still crowing about how
the DMCA "worked".  They started the perhaps irreversable chain of events.
And they are still the enemy, continuing to defend the DMCA.  In the
long term it is the DMCA that is the problem.  There will be plenty more
Sklyarov's in the future so long as companies like Adobe fight for it.  
AND Dmitry is still in jail!
