NEWS The landmark trial of Elcomsoft has got off to a false start with Adobe testifying that it cannot prove any copyright was breached or illegal copies made of protected e-books. The trial represents the first outing for the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act and aims to establish whether Elcomsoft's provision of software illegally enabled users to bypass Adobe's copyright protection.

The case continues, with star witness Dmitri Sklyarov yet to make his entrance into the proceedings.
