Sklyarov Remains Jailed -- 8:58 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Dmitry Sklyarov remains in custody after attempts by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to get him freed failed. Sklyarov was jailed for allegedly violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by presenting information on Adobe's encryption scheme. Protests are being staged in cities around the world. I'm hoping that this goes to trial so that the DMCA's constitutionality can be challenged. The EFF and others should be able to provide enough support to send this to the Supreme Court if necessary. The last thing that DMCA supporters wanted was a martyr. They seem to have created one. Thanks Slashdot.
