Could this kill the DMCA???

  'Merely offering a product that could violate copyrights was not
   enough to warrant a conviction, the jury instructions said.'

Since Adobe is no longer involved (they recanted shortly after Skylarov's
arrest), and it's only the US Federal Government, do you think this "common law"
might be applicable to the Johansen case???
