A Russian security expert has been arrested after making a 
presentation at Defcon pointing out the shortcomings of eBook 
security.  

[...]  

For its part ElcomSoft said that Abode would do better to fix the 
problems with its software than label other firms as agents in 
software piracy.  

"We claim that by aggressively pushing standards, unapproved by 
professional cryptologists, to the fast growing electronic books 
market and with pursuing of independent researchers who tries to 
highlight the problems, Adobe Systems violates the rights of books 
authors and publishers." ®
