Dmitry has a book out!

Cory Doctorow 10:18 am Mon Feb 16, 2004

Pablos sez, "Dmitry Sklyarov became the first martyr of the DMCA's Dark Age when he was arrested by federal agents for speaking at a conference about eBook security in 2001. He's a brilliant engineer who has done security analysis of eBook copy protection schemes. Dmitry is also a Russian citizen, and the wrong guy to suffer for backwards attempts at modern copyright by United States corporate lawmakers. Fortunately, the courts did the right thing and the case against Dmitry was dropped. Dmitry has since written 'Hidden Keys to Software Break-ins and Unauthorized Entry' which became available in English on Amazon this week. Even if you aren't into cryptanalysis, DRM, or computer security, buying this book will up your whuffie."
