D. Sklyarov 

From our mail: <...In the United States, a lot of computer users are following the story of Dmitry Sklyarov, a Russian programmer and cryptologist who arrested by our FBI last month in Las Vegas, Nevada, while attending a conference of web security professionals. We are outraged and very angry with our government and we have launched protests across America because this was an unjustified act of our Government. I don't know if you are aware of the situation, but Mr. Sklyrov works for a Russian software developer, and was arrested for having written a software program which can be used to by-pass encrypted ebooks.
   We are angry because the law he supposedly broke, is unconstitutional to begin with, and because he wrote the program while on Russian soil, where it was perfectly legal to do so! If you are interested,  you can link to a U. S. website: http://www.freesklyarov.org, and see how we are trying to help Mr. Sklyarov...>
