RE: [dvd-discuss] Sklyarov Motion to Dismiss Indictment

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

I like the section titled "The Lawful Uses of AEBPR."
Lots of real-life uses of the Elcomsoft software to
perform circumvention, including at least one by a
governmental agency (State of Wisconsin, "in order to 
resolve the problem of 'content being restricted to the 
computer that was used to download the ebook.'" ).
Even better, another case states "One individual sought 
a copy of AEBPR on behalf of Time Warner Communications."

Take that, Jackboots!

This motion also goes into the authorization issues.
Wonderful!

If this motion is accepted by the courts, can that
be cited as precedent, or would this be another case
of winning w/o leaving any lasting marks on the legal 
battleground?
