Adobe's involvement was not mentioned

[edit]

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.

Damages?

[edit]

Considering the fact that he didn't violate any laws and that the detainment was unlawful (him being a foreign national on a visit) was he paid damages? 122.167.26.116 (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Arrest section of this article contains mostly duplicate information also in United States v. ElcomSoft and Sklyarov.

The case involves multiple parties (Sklyarov, ElcomSoft, FBI, Adobe, EFF, AAP), so it shouldn't be documented on the page of just one of them. I hope to merge the information from here into the article about the case, but I can't do it this month. A small section should still be left in this article, with a link to the case article as the main source of info. If anyone has the time sooner, I'd be happy to be beaten to it.
