RE: [dvd-discuss] Adobe Comments on Sklyarov, ElcomSoft Cases

[Richard Hartman <hartman(at)onetouch.com>]

<blockquote>
Adobe is not aware of any attempts by ElcomSoft to provide feedback on the
security of the Acrobat eBook Reader
</blockquote>

Wasn't that the topic of the talk he was giving when he was arrested?

Although it is not a direct notification to Adobe, that talk was a public
notification to the entire security community.

What would be the impact if Elcomsoft _had_ attempted to notify Adobe, and
had documentation to prove it?  Would that establish Elcomsoft in the
"researcher" role and immunify (ok, there's a better word for that...) them?
