RELEASE OF RUSSIAN PROGRAMMER
Dmitry Sklyarov, the 27-year-old Russian programmer arrested in the U.S. 
for violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by writing and 
promoting code that could be used to evade the copy-protection features of 
the Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader, is being released, but the U.S. government 
will continue its prosecution of his employer, ElcomSoft of Moscow. 
Skylarov's cause was embraced by a worldwide collection of programmers, 
scientists, free-speech advocates and civil libertarians who organized 
"Free Dmitry" rallies. (San Jose Mercury News 14 Dec 2001)
