Elcomsoft
Elcomsoft was acquitted, and we had a party to celebrate! It wasn't quite as well attended as the party which celebrated Dmitry's return to Russia (I think it had about 30 people instead of about 100), but it was a good feeling, and Alex Katalov, about to return home himself, dropped by. Don and Tabinda organized the event, which was held at the EFF office. We posted a few historic "Free Dmitry" flyers for the occasion.
Don argues that the jury's decision to acquit -- after Judge Whyte rejected jurisdictional and constitutional arguments -- shows that ordinary Americans think the DMCA has gone too far. It's hard for me to know what the jury was thinking, but that interpretation seems especially plausible since the jury foreman said jurors were troubled at the lack of rights afforded to readers under the law.
Could it be that they believed that "reading is a right, not a feature"?
The whole affair lasted almost exactly 17 months (mid-July 2001 to mid-December 2002). I don't think we'll forget it any time soon.
