The federal government recently passed two bills into law, C-244 and C-294. These make it not a copyright violation to break or bypass a digital access control to software/hardware you own have legitimate access to, for the purposes of diagonstics/maintenance/repair, and interoperability respectively.

What are your thoughts?
Is it right to repair only for agricultural equipment? Or does it extend to common everyday electronics as well?
It’s not restricted to any industry which is good news.
So it’s generic enough to set a precedent for other items/industries? That’s good news. These kinds of things would help. I wish we take similar steps like the EU where they make it a law to simplify repairs and stating the life expectancy of certain products.
