Thank you, Mr. May.
I've carefully read your bill and, frankly, I think you have it right. I think there are two extremes in this debate. One is that the government, as we do now under the Copyright Act [Technical difficulty—Editor] to respect the exclusive repair rights of the vendor. The other is to ban the vendor from applying technological protections.
You've done neither of those things. What you've done is basically remove the prohibition on circumvention technology to allow those customers who want to attempt to repair something themselves and to attempt to go around a technological protection measure to do that. By the amendment to the Copyright Act that you propose, effectively, I think you are legislating the principle of “willing buyer, willing seller”. I think that's where we need to be on this.
That's more of a comment than a question. I'd invite your response to it.
