I don't get what all the fuss is about John. Isn't this what people are asking for by letting the DMCA stip away the rights to view what is 'under the hood'? If the DMCA stands that is what will happen. Then the lack of security information wont be an omission but a fact of life backed by law. (Thought)Maybe Adobe should hire skilled programmers instead of placing the blame elsewhere.

You're just getting a foreshadow of what is to come. Resist your natural instinct to 'flight' and 'fight' this BS act....oh, and do be careful, you're starting to sound like a MCSE. You could get asked if you'd be interested in the acquision of some cheese.
