    This was a copout. adobe and the dmca conspired, this case neatly avoided any dmca provisions and all it accomplished was to sweep the whole issue under the rug. you idiots have been fandangled, the only way to get change is to publicly and willfully breack the dmca and make sure it goes to court while you idiots are dancing in the street the dmca is laughing at you. the dmca must be chalenged in a way that its constitutionality can be questions and the law can be destroyed. then we go after riaa and the likes, this case proves nothing and only streangthens the dmca. if the companie put their software back on the market and got sued again then refused to take it off the market then there may be a case, untill then nothing will happen.
