Re: Boycotting Adobe
Someone at Adobe is directly responsible for a man languishing in a jail in a foreign country, far from his family, friends, and support system. "Whoops, sorry" is not a sufficient response. I agree completely and I also think that Adobe should pay "reparations" to Dmitry's legal defense. However, I still see so many people focusing on Adobe and that focus only indirectly helps to get the DMCA changed or off of the books altogether. While we need to support Dmitry (and Dr. Felten, 2600 magazine and all of the DeCSS vicitims--which of course in some cases is a bit too sympathetic--of the DMCA), we need to make sure that the lawmakers (and any big boys out there who are able to help) understand that this is definitely about the law itself and not about the particulars of any one case... They need to see that the worst effects of this law have not yet even begun to take place. The judicial process will take its own sweet time, but we shouldn't sit around and wait for the verdict. We really need to focus our attention squarely on the law and the people who put it there.
