News on Dmitry Sklyarov's arrest for embaressing Adobe by exposing some of
the very weak encryption used in their e-book format (including rot13), under
DMCA legislation.

Seems quite a few aren't very happy about it. http://www.boycottadobe.com/
Perhaps anyone who deals with Adobe might consider mentioning the issue.

Also anyone involved with reverse engineering formats, might re-consider
holidays to the states, your stay could be extended ;)
