Sklyarov Denied Visa to Return to U.S. for Trial

Posted by michael on from the before-the-law dept.

Kurt Foss writes "Visa applications for Alexander Katalov and Dmitry Sklyarov of ElcomSoft were recently denied by the American Embassy in Moscow, jeopardizing their return to the U.S. in time for the company to face criminal charges for allegedly violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) last year. The already rescheduled trial is presently set to begin in the U.S. District Court of Northern California on October 21."

    I've been out of the loop for a bit, so excuse me for sounding dense, but could some one give me a synopsis of the Sklyarov case? or a link to one?

    Allen Greenspan, in his recent testimony before the House Financial Services Committee, said, "I would be very distressed if we were to try to shut our doors to immigration in this country. I frankly don't envisage that happening, but I understand that there's always that tendency on the part of people who are here who, having come here four generations earlier, want to shut the door. And I don't think that's a good idea."

    Hmm.. I don't know about Skylarov, but my friend has a rockabilly/hillbilly band called Sky Wings. Ever heard of them? I bet you'd find their music more interesting than this Skylarov case... Ugh, I've spoken.
