The Adobe Security Imbroglio 
Roger Sperberg Looks at Russian Software that Decrypts
Purchased Adobe eBook Files: Part 2 (Read Part 1) 

By Roger Sperberg 
Posted July 15, 2001 

In Russia, apparently, it's illegal to sell software without the ability
to make "at least one backup copy of the data it works with." 

So? That's Russia. I'm in the U.S., land of the free and so on. What does
it matter if a Russian company makes software that enables the purchaser
but no one else to make a backup copy of data sold by foreigners who
violate Russian law?
