The rationale given by the jury? "Jury foreman Dennis Strader said the jurors agreed ElcomSoft's product was illegal but acquitted the company because they believed the company didn't mean to violate the law." Says the foreman, "'We didn't understand why a million dollar company would put on their Web page an illegal thing that would (ruin) their whole business if they were caught,' [the foreman] said in an interview following the verdict. Strader added that the panel found the DMCA itself confusing, making it easy for jurors to believe that executives from Russia might not fully understand it."
Not a huge victory for DMCA opponents, since the jury found Elcomsoft's product illegal but excused the company on other grounds--but it's a step.
