For those of you that support strong encryption and security:

There's a Russian programmer namde Dmitry Skylarov. He coded some software that broke adobe's encryption on their eBook reader software and their Acrobat Reader. Instead of correcting the flaws, Adobe has now pursued him with the help of the FBI and he's in jail awaiting to be tried on charges of Violating the Digital Millenium Copyright Act(which is bullshit in and of itself)...

boycottadobe.com

has info on his case, ways to contribute, sites of rallies(including one in Minneapolis, the headquarters of Adobe Software), and more.
