Blog post: Copyright Office Ruling Issues Sweeping Right to Repair Reforms

This article from October 2018 written by Kyle Wiens on the efforts to secure the ability to repair our own digital devices, and the ruling which the U.S. Copyright Office gave.  The ruling regards Title 17, Section 1201 (Circumvention of copyright protection systems) and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.   The article outlines in good detail:

• Major new freedoms
• Some bad news
• The Fine Print

...and important discussion points and nuances.
