Sklyarov gets US visa -DMCA trial to kick off
The first criminal prosecution under the
controversial Digital Millennium Copyright
Act is to begin in San Jose next week after
a visa was finally granted to Russian
programmer Dmitry Sklyarov and Alex Katalov,
the chief executive of his former employers
ElcomSoft. US District Judge Ronald M. Whyte
was informed during a pre-trial hearing on
Monday that the Immigration and Naturalisation
Service had granted special visas for that pair,
clearing the way for the commencement of the
keenly awaited trial, according to newswire
reports.
