[edit] Adobe's involvement was not mentioned

This issue is not something I ever worked on, but my memory of the story was that Adobe made a complaint, Dmitri got arrested for giving a security talk, Dmitri spent some time in jail, Adobe withdrew its complaint when public opinion went against it and when withdrawing its complaint would have little or no actual effect. I don't remember how long Dmitri spent in prison, or how long he was detained in the USA in total, and I don't remember the details of the end of the case - but a quick reading of Adobe and EFF's FAQs seems to confirm my vague memory, and yet the article tells a story with no "Adobe" involvment in initiating the arrest and with a happy ever after ending. I am not well qualified to write this article, but it seems I am certainly qualified to improve on its current state. I request others to help improve this article. Gronky 11:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
