And so, charges will be dropped against the Russian computer programmer accused of violating electronic-book copyrights, ending part of a case that has generated worldwide protests. However check out this excerpt: "Mr. Sklyarov will be permitted to return to Russia in the meantime, but will be subject to the Court's supervision, including regularly reporting by telephone to the Pretrial Services Department. Mr. Sklyarov will be prohibited from violating any laws during the year, including copyright laws. The United States agreed that, if Mr. Sklyarov successfully completes the obligations in the agreement, it will dismiss the charges pending against him at the end of the year or when the case against Elcomsoft is complete," according to the Department of Justice's statement.
