Ironical, isn't it?

In this article on Wired, that reports on the ongoing case against Russian programmer Sklyarov, who was sued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for writing a program that translates Adobe's E-book format into a less restrictive format so that it can be used on other devices than an E-book reader, mention is made of where to get the actual text of the DMCA. Adobe first pressed charges again Sklyarov and under public pressure withdrew those charges, but the case was pursued by the district attorney. Although the link currently is not working, the DMCA document seems to be available as an Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) file. Ironical, isn't it?

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
