When you had a refrigerator 20 years ago and a compressor went on that refrigerator, you could fix it without having to break the Copyright Act. Now that compressor is attached to a motherboard that has a technological protection measure in it that doesn't even allow you to replace the part that has nothing to do with the technology side.
I think this is where time and the development of these smart devices has required a rethink.
The industries have figured out a way to use the Copyright Act to their benefit, but it was never intended that way.
