Skylarov (sp?). In the US? Yes. A non-US citizen? Yes. Arrested? Yes. By the cops? Ummmm -- it was at immigration/customs so maybe NOT by the police?? For copyright infringement? Well, kinda -- specifically under the DMCA. Pointing out that ROT13 is not really an "effective" encryption mechanism with which to "secure" copyrighted digital content is itself NOT allowed under the DMCA (showing what a shitty little piece of law it really is -- it's a law so bad it has to make some forms of potential criticism of it illegal).
