I could be a tad off base on this, but it would seem to be more productive overall, if Adobe would just buy the rights to his work and integrate it into their applications.

His concept is nice for those with with disabilities. I guess like anything else, it's open to interpretation.

The story tells us that it is the first prosecution under the DMCA. Maybe Adobe are making an example of this case to show they are not going to tolerate this type of thing.

Seems to me that Adobe ought to be offering eBooks for the blind. Then they wouldn't have to worry about whether anyone was infringing on their copyright by writing programs like Sklyarov's.

Actually, they'd be better off if the created a device capable of reading eBooks outloud to the blind. Or maybe something that would be a braille eBook.

The technology is out there. All they've got to do is adapt it!

Um, and the first time a jury has had a chance to react to the Hollywood Goon Squad.

Gong....gong....gong.

The goons will be back, but probably in another state.
