I'm not an attorney, so there's no good reason to take me seriously about any 
of this...but I think the reason buyers and sellers in drug deals are both 
criminals is that we have laws that prohibit "trafficking" in drugs AND we 
have other laws that makes mere possession of drugs illegal in itself.  DMCA 
doesn't (quite) seem to have that second part.

I'm not sure who "imported" the program.  It's an interesting question, and 
if it lands just one Adobe executive in the next cell over, I'll be 
thrilled...but I won't be holding my breath expecting it to happen that way.
