+0000 Subject: Concerns from a potential
customer After reading the coverage about the arrest of Dmitry Sklyarov from www.theregister.co.uk, www.eff.org and eventually www.boycottadobe.com. I feel I have gathered enough facts to condemn your company for such a awful abuse of my Constitutionally protected rights. The DMCA is a misconceived
law, that attempts to take away every Americans right to fair use and
in my opinion to protect companies that do not want to bother with real
security but give their customers symbolic security which does no one
any good and is the key reason why the Internet was plagued by the CodeRed
worm this week. I have been considering for
a while if I should bother trying out Photoshop after playing with "The
Gimp" www.gimp.org, but at this point I doubt I will be purchasing
any Adobe products ever and I will be encouraging everyone I know to avoid
Adobe products. I will also be doing my best
to show people in other companies as well as mine how powerful "The
Gimp" is and how they can replace Photoshop with it. I am not that
familiar with all your products but I will be on the lookout for products
that can replace products that you produce and educating people that free
alternatives exist. As a company you should be ashamed for at least two reasons, 1 that you could not create a security mechanism that was nothing more then basic and 2 that you are contributing to the erosion of basic American rights and protections. Maybe you should all take some time and read : The Constitution Your truely
