More first-hand reporting from the Elcomsoft trial

Danny “NTK” O’Brien also took himself to the Elcomsoft trial yesterday and reported on the doings and the goings-on:

…if they wanted to draw attention to the flaws in Adobe’s ebook, why Dmitry hadn’t released his exploit on Bugtraq. This is a fascinating attack, given that it seems to imply that it would be *better* for Elcomsoft to release flaws on Bugtraq. Given that many people believe that releasing such circumvention code on Bugtraq is a breach of the DMCA itself, this seems kind of a weird condemnation. The point wasn’t examined in detail by either prosecution or defence. Dmitry said that Elcomsoft didn’t want to damage ebook publishers by doing this.
