They found out that Dmitry was scheduled to come to America to speak at Defcon-9, the annual hackerРІР‚в„ўs convention, on the security of electronic books. Thus Adobe turned to the Federal Bureau of Investigations. AdobeРІР‚в„ўs holy lawyers could not pummel Elcomsoft with the righteous array of civil lawsuits because the company was outside of the country. But there was this little problem: Dmitry is Russian. The lawyers did a little digging and found out that the man who created this device was an Elcomsoft programmer named Dmitry Sklyarov. So the holy lawyers of Adobe were summoned to find this so-called 'pirate' and stop this apparent sacrilege of Adobe software.

'I didnРІР‚в„ўt mean to cause damage.' 'I didnРІР‚в„ўt mean to create so much trouble.' A teenager in Florida managed to worm his way out of a life sentence for killing his teacher in the hallway simply because 'he didnРІР‚в„ўt mean' to kill the man. No matter how heinous the act, we always try to lessen the impact by saying 'I didnРІР‚в„ўt mean to'. We usually said it with tears running down our faces with that puppy-dog look as if everything could be cured by a hug and a bowl of soup.
