Hello y'all,
it's Krzysztof "Critto" Sobolewski from Poland.

Have you heard about Dmitry Sklyarov, the 26 years old 
programmer, arrested in the US for writin' and publishin' the 
program that allows to break e-book (Adobe) copy protection?

He's been arrested by the bandits from FBI on the demand of 
Adobe (let's spit on their name and trademark!). Furthermore, he's 
written his program in Russia, where is NO law as DMCA !!

He's threatened with 5 years in prison and 500 thousand $ fine.
He came to USA just to speak out at conference, and now it 
seems that they are holding him few years more. Funny, no?

Please consider those websites:

http://www.freesklyarov.org -- the main site devoted to liberate ;
Sklyarov

http://www.visi.com/%7Etneu/voidwhereprohibited.html -- about the ;
violations of 1st Amendment caused by the DMCA

http://www.anti-dmca.org/ -- as the title suggests, Anti-DMCA ;
website

http://www.boycottadobe.org/ -- the website devoted to boycott ;
Adobe for their anti-freedom deeds -- look at the ridiculed logo of 
Adobe ...

http://www.msnbc.com/news/594462.asp?cp1=1 why Jefferson ;
would love Napster -- excellent article published on NBC's website

http://www.dibona.com/dmca/ -- the PETITION TO SIGN to FREE ;
SKLYAROV (I've already signed; did you?)

http://www.eff.org -- Electronic Frontier Foundation, the very best ;
defender of Free Speech on the Internet.

Use EVERY mean of communication to make it loud. To let the 
world know.  We should make it loud; we should make the 
"law"makers in USA crying. We should literally KILL DMCA, before 
it kills us.







Yours in Liberty,
     Krzysztof (Christopher) "Critto" Sobolewski
