< yesterday --
tomorrow >
reporter: You have been indicted under the Digital Millennium
Immigration Act.
Sklyarov: Yes, it is always dangerous to visit a country with
so many laws.
reporter: How do you feel about your indictment?
Sklyarov: I am cool, calm, and collected, like a butterfly
in a display case.
reporter: What do you think will happen?
Sklyarov: This is not Afghanistan. They will only throw me in prison
for twenty-five years.
reporter: Are there any lessons to draw?
Sklyarov: I am only glad that I did not invent the lockpick.
clue:
Sklyarov was actually indicted under the Digital Millenium
Copyright Act, a law which favors copyright owners at the expense
of consumer fair use.
