Sklyarov Released On $50,000 Bail

Posted by timothy on from the roaming-the-streets-with-innocent-muggers-and-rapists dept.

Mike Schiraldi was the first to write about Dmitry Sklyarov's release from jail, even before it happened: "According to this live report from the courtroom, Dmitri will probably be out of jail real soon now. Of course, he still won't be allowed to leave Northern California, but it's a start ..." Soon after, inaneboy pointed out this Reuters story on yahoo which says that Sklyarov has been released, on 50,000 dollars bail, raised by his employer, ElcomSoft. phalse phace wrote to say that the EFF has just posted an announcement as well as some background.

    Got it backwards. The only reason the US hasn't been invaded by its enemies is because Canada's the peace broker.

      Isn't not being able to leave California like being in jail?
      Hmm...

      California: Vast, beatiful scenery
      Jail: 4x6 cell, concrete

      California: Sunshine
      Jail: Flourescent track lights, or perhaps a bare bulb. (Note: I don't speak from experience here, but from such great documentaries as "The Shawshank Redemption"", "Escape From Alcatraz", and "Sleepers")

      California: I'm hungry, I haven't eaten in like 8 hours, this sucks.
      Jail: This constantly being beaten by corrupt guards sucks.

      California: Bikini (somewhat)clad women, everyone stares at hungrily.
      Jail: You (*shudder*).

  12. Fleeing Juristiction Not The Answer!!! by EXTomar · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    Running away does not fix the issue(ie. a bad law was passed). I can't believe people even suggest this as a correct corse of action.

    There are two common ways to change the laws in most places in the US and at the Federal level.
    - Get the lawmakers to amend the law
    - Have a high court over turn the law

    I would rather have courts review the law, all the way up to the Supreme Court, than to have lawmakers muck around with this issue any more. If Sklyarov flees how can the issue be pushed? It is a risk that unfortunately only Sklyarov can face but if not him who and when? Letting this horribly bad law sit on the books any longer is as a bad an idea as telling Sklyarov to run for it.
