ElcomSoft Back For More

graveyhead writes "Most everyone here should remember the Dmitri Skylarov fiasco last year. Apparently ElcomSoft, the company Dmitry works for, is not intimidated by Adobe or the DMCA. Wired is running this story that describes ElcomSoft's upcoming products, most of which could be interpreted as a violation of the DMCA. What's particularly interesting is that this announcement comes right at the beginning of the trial which is scheduled to begin on August 26."

    Maybe that's the reason there are so many financially poor scientists in Russia.

    That's right, it's a little known fact that American scientists were living in poverty prior to the introduction of the DMCA a few years ago. Fortunately this miraculous Act has turned that around which is why you see so few scientists starving on the street these days.

    What you might not have realised is that DMCA also washes clothes whiter.
