Sklyarov Discusses the ElcomSoft Trial

Posted by michael on from the joseph-k dept.

DaytonCIM writes "Dmitry Sklyarov talks openly about the ElcomSoft trial to CNET News. The 'Russian programmer thinks it was unfair of prosecutors to play his videotaped deposition at the ElcomSoft trial rather than calling him to the stand.'"

    It's spelled Skylarov.

    No, it's not.

    Oh wait, my mistake, this topic must not be about Dmitry Sklyarov, the Russian software developer. It's about a totally different person, named Skylarov, who happens to be a big fan of online casinos, and wants to be free!

  4. My Fantastic Teleporter Is Illegal by titaniam · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was just about to release to the world the greatest invention ever, when I read Sklyarov's
    article, and that part about the lockpick possibly being illegal got to me! I realized a teleporter could be used to bypass shrink-wrap licenses, pop cd's out of thir unopened jewelbox vaults, or maybe even make "secure" adobe pdf documents useful (I haven't figured that one out yet, but it MAY be possible). Sorry, world! My lawyer has advised me to destroy all the evidence, make my lab notebooks useless by converting them to MS-WORD format, and additionally to re-format my brain to avoid any chance of this big-media-busting technology being used against me in court.
