 Hi all,

 I've just joined the list, so please forgive me if this
has already been covered, but I have query regarding
the part which reads "He has committed no crime."

 Now, as I (perhaps wrongly) understand it, Sklyarov was
arrested because he passed on information at the
conference (through his talk) which contravened the DMCA,
not for actions he took while in Russia. If I am correct,
this would leave "He has committed no crime." as a legal
opinion which is somewhat open to debate. I would
certainly agree that the clauses (of the DMCA) in
question are morally wrong, inconsistent, contrary the
the US's own constitution, etc, but I am wary of making
factual errors which could be taken up and used by the
opposition.
