Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's a bit ridiculous that the DMCA is being used to prevent people from repairing their equipment in the first place.

Not just a bit. It's late stage capitalism dystopian hellscape kind of ridiculous.

Man there sure are a lot of late stage capitalist dystopia nightmare hellscape things happening these days.

Sure is good that we don't live in one of those, right fellas?

The DMCA is an infringement of property rights (actual ones, not Imaginary Property "rights" that are actually just temporary privileges) and should not exist at all.

Not really particularly ridiculous. It's exactly the kind of evil it was designed for. Just a broader application than advertised.
