    bonjour à toutes et à tous,

  comme personne n'en a parlé ici, je me permet de souligner le danger
qui nous guette  :((  Et, un exemple de mobilisation exemplaire.

   New to this issue? Wondering why so many people are so upset?
   
   [IMAGE]Dmitry Sklyarov is a 26-year-old Russian citizen and Ph.D. student
   who studies cryptography.
   He is the father of two children (2 1/2 year old son, 3 month old daughter).
   
   He helped create the Advanced eBook Processor (AEBPR) software for his
   Russian employer Elcomsoft[52]. According to the company's website, the
   software permits eBook owners to translate from Adobe's secure eBook format
   into the more common Portable Document Format (PDF). The software only works
   on legitimately purchased eBooks and has been used by blind people to read
   otherwise-inaccessible PDF user's manuals, and by people who want to move an
   eBook from one computer to another (just like anyone can move a music CD
   from the home player to a portable or car).
   
   Sklyarov was arrested July 17 in Las Vegas, NV, apparently at the behest of
   Adobe Systems, according to the DOJ complaint[53]. He was charged with
   distributing a product designed to circumvent copyright protection measures.
   He is being held without bail in a Las Vegas jail.

   ISSUE: 207d<
   
   This site is not sponsored by, or acting as a shill for, any commercial
   entity. It is the product of shallow pockets and a wirespread sense of
   outrage and concern. We hope that through the broad dissemination of
   information, we can help correct the fantastically misguided actions of the
   FBI (arrest of Dmitry), Adobe Systems (crummy encryption and summoning of
   the criminal justice system to settle a business problem) and US Congress
   (DMCA), each in turn.
