Sklyarov Clarifies Circumstances of Release, Testimony

Posted by timothy on from the build-a-bridge-out-of-'im dept.

*ZiggyP0P* writes: "We remember hearing how Dmitry was let off and released (so he can finally go home) but how he had to cooperate with the government in the prosecution of his employer as a plea bargain. Turns out that this was all a lie by the Justice Dept. Skylarov has released his own statements which explain what exactly happened. He has entered into no legal plea bargain and he is still employed by Elcomsoft (even though the justice dept called him his former employer)."

    This proves two things:

    1) It must be obvious to everyone that the DMCA is unconstitutional

    2) DMCA type laws are never going to go away till we attack the root of the problem, copyrights

    Unless you think that we're going to conjure up a propaganda machine the size of the movie industry, or that the government will suddenly start protecting liberties again, civil disobedience is the only way to go.
