I think most of us here know this, but the dmca broke the free market. Anyone who isn't or has folks that aren't (read time, 3 hours, including rabbit holes):

This impacts the ability to fix or modify your own stuff, see Fulu, extend or enhance tools you already own, and repurpose items for things they can do but are not in the best interest of the company that sold them. Making it illegal to use a computer is akin to making it illegal to use a screwdriver.
This is why every car has a screen now. They were able to lock out any unauthorized customization, repair, replacement, etc because there was a "digital lock" somewhere in the process and use that to force first-party parts, service and software and get a reliable post-market revenue stream. Don't want your car advertising to you on startup? Too bad - disabling that is a crime.
Especially as we head into an election moment in the US - reach out to candidates and ensure they are aware and know we are aware.
