AAP surprised by Adobe's withdrawal

Speaking at an international conference on intellectual property
rights this past week, the president of the Association of American
Publishers (AAP) says her organization was surprised when Adobe
Systems withdrew its complaint against Russian software programmer
Dmitry Sklyarov. Patricia Schroeder told attendees that the
unexpected move left the AAP to defend the controversial Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). She also said that by cracking the
company's PDF-based security solution, Moscow-based ElcomSoft Co.
Ltd. drove FileOpen Systems, Inc. of New York out of business. (The
latter point, however, appears to be inaccurate.)
