    Ask Dmitri Skylarov, who got a trip to jail just for pointing out that
    Adobe really *did* use rot-13 encryption (really!) in their e-Book products.

    And that was just for the DMCA. Things are even worse under the Patriot
    Act - we may *never* find out why Mike Hawash has been sitting in
    solitary confinement for a month, uncharged with anything, and not allowed
    to contact a lawyer.

    It's serious.
