The US Copyright Office frees the McFlurry

I'll be in TUCSON, AZ from November 8-10: I'm the GUEST OF HONOR at the TUSCON SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION.

I have spent a quarter century obsessed with the weirdest corner of the weirdest section of the worst internet law on the US statute books: Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the 1998 law that makes it a felony to help someone change how their own computer works so it serves them, rather than a distant corporation.

Under DMCA 1201, giving someone a tool to "bypass an access control for a copyrighted work" is a felony punishable by a 5-year prison sentence and a $500k fine – for a first offense. This law can refer to access controls for traditional copyrighted works, like movies. Under DMCA 1201, if you help someone with photosensitive epilepsy add a plug-in to the Netflix player in their browser that blocks strobing pictures that can trigger seizures, you're a felon:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-media/2017Jul/0005.html

But software is a copyrighted work, and everything from printer cartridges to car-engine parts have software in them. If the manufacturer puts an "access control" on that software, they can send their customers (and competitors) to prison for passing around tools to help them fix their cars or use third-party ink.

Now, even though the DMCA is a copyright law (that's what the "C" in DMCA stands for, after all); and even though blocking video strobes, using third party ink, and fixing your car are not copyright violations, the DMCA can still send you to prison, for a long-ass time for doing these things, provided the manufacturer designs their product so that using it the way that suits you best involves getting around an "access control."

As you might expect, this is quite a tempting proposition for any manufacturer hoping to enshittify their products, because they know you can't legally disenshittify them. These access controls have metastasized into every kind of device imaginable.

And even printer paper:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/16/unauthorized-paper/#dymo-550

DMCA 1201 is the brainchild of Bruce Lehmann, Bill Clinton's Copyright Czar, who was repeatedly warned that cancerous proliferation this was the foreseeable, inevitable outcome of his pet policy. As a sop to his critics, Lehman added a largely ornamental safety valve to his law, ordering the US Copyright Office to invite submissions every three years petitioning for "use exemptions" to the blanket ban on circumventing access-controls.

I call this "ornamental" because if the Copyright Office thinks that, say, it should be legal for you to bypass an access control to use third-party ink in your printer, or a third-party app store in your phone, all they can do under DMCA 1201 is grant you the right to use a circumvention tool. But they can't give you the right to acquire that tool.

I know that sounds confusing, but that's only because it's very, very stupid. How stupid? Well, in 2001, the US Trade Representative arm-twisted the EU into adopting its own version of this law (Article 6 of the EUCD), and in 2003, Norway added the law to its lawbooks. On the eve of that addition, I traveled to Oslo to debate the minister involved:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/28/clintons-ghost/#felony-contempt-of-business-model

The minister praised his law, explaining that it gave blind people the right to bypass access controls on ebooks so that they could feed them to screen readers, Braille printers, and other assistive tools. OK, I said, but how do they get the software that jailbreaks their ebooks so they can make use of this exemption? Am I allowed to give them that tool?

No, the minister said, you're not allowed to do that, that would be a crime.

Is the Norwegian government allowed to give them that tool? No. How about a blind rights advocacy group? No, not them either. A university computer science department? Nope. A commercial vendor? Certainly not.

No, the minister explained, under his law, a blind person would be expected to personally reverse engineer a program like Adobe E-Reader, in hopes of discovering a defect that they could exploit by writing a program to extract the ebook text.

Oh, I said. But if a blind person did manage to do this, could they supply that tool to other blind people?

Well, no, the minister said. Each and every blind person must personally – without any help from anyone else – figure out how to reverse-engineer the ebook program, and then individually author their own alternative reader program that worked with the text of their ebooks.

That is what is meant by a use exemption without a tools exemption. It's useless. A sick joke, even.

The US Copyright Office has been valiantly holding exemptions proceedings every three years since the start of this century, and they've granted many sensible exemptions, including ones to benefit people with disabilities, or to let you jailbreak your phone, or let media professors extract video clips from DVDs, and so on. Tens of thousands of person-hours have been flushed into this pointless exercise, generating a long list of things you are now technically allowed to do, but only if you are a reverse-engineering specialist type of computer programmer who can manage the process from beginning to end in total isolation and secrecy.

But there is one kind of use exception the Copyright Office can grant that is potentially game-changing: an exemption for decoding diagnostic codes.

You see, DMCA 1201 has been a critical weapon for the corporate anti-repair movement. By scrambling error codes in cars, tractors, appliances, insulin pumps, phones and other devices, manufacturers can wage war on independent repair, depriving third-party technicians of the diagnostic information they need to figure out how to fix your stuff and keep it going.

This is bad enough in normal times, but during the acute phase of the covid pandemic, hospitals found themselves unable to maintain their ventilators because of access controls. Nearly all ventilators come from a single med-tech monopolist, Medtronic, which charges hospitals hundreds of dollars to dispatch their own repair technicians to fix its products. But when covid ended nearly all travel, Medtronic could no longer provide on-site calls. Thankfully, an anonymous hacker started building homemade (illegal) circumvention devices to let hospital technicians fix the ventilators themselves, improvising housings for them from old clock radios, guitar pedals and whatever else was to hand, then mailing them anonymously to hospitals:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/10/flintstone-delano-roosevelt/#medtronic-again

Once a manufacturer monopolizes repair in this way, they can force you to use their official service depots, charging you as much as they'd like; requiring you to use their official, expensive replacement parts; and dictating when your gadget is "too broken to fix," forcing you to buy a new one. That's bad enough when we're talking about refusing to fix a phone so you buy a new one – but imagine having a spinal injury and relying on a $100,000 exoskeleton to get from place to place and prevent muscle wasting, clots, and other immobility-related conditions, only to have the manufacturer decide that the gadget is too old to fix and refusing to give you the technical assistance to replace a watch battery so that you can get around again:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/26/24255074/former-jockey-michael-straight-exoskeleton-repair-battery

When the US Copyright Office grants a use exemption for extracting diagnostic codes from a busted device, they empower repair advocates to put that gadget up on a workbench and torture it into giving up those codes. The codes can then be integrated into an unofficial diagnostic tool, one that can make sense of the scrambled, obfuscated error codes that a device sends when it breaks – without having to unscramble them. In other words, only the company that makes the diagnostic tool has to bypass an access control, but the people who use that tool later do not violate DMCA 1201.

This is all relevant this month because the US Copyright Office just released the latest batch of 1201 exemptions, and among them is the right to circumvent access controls "allowing for repair of retail-level food preparation equipment":

https://publicknowledge.org/public-knowledge-ifixit-free-the-mcflurry-win-copyright-office-dmca-exemption-for-ice-cream-machines/

While this covers all kinds of food prep gear, the exemption request – filed by Public Knowledge and Ifixit – was inspired by the bizarre war over the tragically fragile McFlurry machine. These machines – which extrude soft-serve frozen desserts – are notoriously failure-prone, with 5-16% of them broken at any given time. Taylor, the giant kitchen tech company that makes the machines, charges franchisees a fortune to repair them, producing a steady stream of profits for the company.

This sleazy business prompted some ice-cream hackers to found a startup called Kytch, a high-powered automation and diagnostic tool that was hugely popular with McDonald's franchisees (the gadget was partially designed by the legendary hardware hacker Andrew "bunnie" Huang!).

In response, Taylor played dirty, making a less-capable clone of the Kytch, trying to buy Kytch out, and teaming up with McDonald's corporate to bombard franchisees with legal scare-stories about the dangers of using a Kytch to keep their soft-serve flowing, thanks to DMCA 1201:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/20/euthanize-rentier-enablers/#cold-war

Kytch isn't the only beneficiary of the new exemption: all kinds of industrial kitchen equipment is covered. In upholding the Right to Repair, the Copyright Office overruled objections of some of its closest historical allies, the Entertainment Software Association, Motion Picture Association, and Recording Industry Association of America, who all sided with Taylor and McDonald's and opposed the exemption:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/10/us-copyright-office-frees-the-mcflurry-allowing-repair-of-ice-cream-machines/

This is literally the only useful kind of DMCA 1201 exemption the Copyright Office can grant, and the fact that they granted it (along with a similar exemption for medical devices) is a welcome bright spot. But make no mistake, the fact that we finally found a narrow way in which DMCA 1201 can be made slightly less stupid does not redeem this outrageous law. It should still be repealed and condemned to the scrapheap of history.

Tor Books as just published two new, free LITTLE BROTHER stories: VIGILANT, about creepy surveillance in distance education; and SPILL, about oil pipelines and indigenous landback.

(I apologize for the addition Op– this is something from November 2022 I queued and then forgot to post. I hope it's still okay for me to add.)

Exactly, everything about this!!! I feel like Dazai can never bring himself to really look at Akutagawa, because if he does, the only thing he'll see is how cruel he himself is. In a way, it's the perfect opposite to his relationship with Atsushi, you know? Atsushi depends a lot from Dazai; but the same can be said the other way round too. Dazai is addicted with Atsushi– addicted by the vague, delusional hope Atsushi gives him of being good, addicted by the feeling of someone looking at him with something different than fear. And that's why Dazai is addicted to Atsushi as much as he's repulsed by Akutagawa, because through the way they see him, they make him see himself as the best or the worst he could ever be.

About Dazai sending Atsushi to Akutagawa, who knows. Maybe it was his twisted way to make up for what he did to Akutagawa? A sort of “I couldn't fix him (I made him worse), but he can”. Except it didn't really work, because in the end, Atsushi ended up being even more repulsed of Akutagawa than Dazai; maybe as a very reflection of Dazai himself in the way he treats Akutagawa. Maybe because Atsushi looks up to Dazai so much, he can see how much he despises Akutagawa. (Even though, I don't want to excessively take from Atsushi's agency– Atsushi's beef with Akutagawa is PERSONAL lmao). And it's something weird to see: let's just recall that time Atsushi and Akutagawa met on the Moby Dick, and Dazai was once again being straight up cruel with Akutagawa in ways that would result truly concerning if not outrageous to anyone witnessing, yet Atsushi seemed to be perfectly cool with it. Or how Atsushi acts plain ruthless towards Akutagawa of his own in chapter 51: “It's no wonder Dazai-san chose to abandon you and disappear”, like, that really hurts. It's so devastating, even Akutagawa can't bring himself to answer. Yyou have Atsushi touching a subject that hits so hard that even he, Akutagawa, can't retaliate?? This much really is reminiscent of Dazai's cruel psychological manipulating of Akutagawa.

Regarding Dazai gushing about Akutagawa in Dark Era but only when he's not there, I think about it so much... It's so perplexing how he can go from “Akutagawa, you could train for a hundred years, and you still wouldn’t be able to beat him” to “[Akutagawa] is soon to become the strongest person in the whole mafia” in the span of one day. Dazai's feelings for Akutagawa really are conflicting.

There's also that time in chapter 52 Akutagawa went “nothing special about that. I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor”. And it's extremely interesting to see how Akutagawa DOES acknowledge Dazai was cruel towards him at him, at least to an extent. I feel like sometimes we tend to interpret him as a lot less self-aware than he actually is. Akutagawa does know that Dazai's treatment of him is overly cruel; he just either believes that that's what's right, or that that's what he deserves. On that note, the Atsushi / headmaster and Akutagawa / Dazai dynamics parallels are so interesting. Both Dazai and the headmaster ultimately thought that was the best way to raise their disciples and prepare them for the real world– but in the end all they did was fuck them up badly, didn't they? Makes me wonder if Dazai might have been thinking of himself as well when he told Atsushi “you were in hell, and hell raised you right”; like he was trying to reassure himself too that what he did to Akutagawa was for his own good, and had to be done.

Another element I've never seen anyone discuss but that on the contrary I find so meaningful is the fact that in the Heartless Cur Dazai explicitly asks Akutagawa if he was okay with being trained in the most cruel and painful way– and Akutagawa willingly accepted. Dazai unequivocally told Akutagawa that he would have granted him and Gin a comfortable life even without them having to join the mafia (it's hard to tell if he would have followed through, and according to the Beast events it doesn't feel like he would have; or maybe it doesn't even matter, because Dazai was so sure Akutagawa would have accepted, the alternative offering itself is meaningless). But Akutagawa was given a choice, and in a way one could say that he gave his consent? Which is twisted and fucked up because he was only about fifteen, but like. Eh. I think people shouldn't forget the fact that Dazai gave Akutagawa a choice before staring training him– a choice he may have wanted for himself when he was fifteen, and wasn't given.

I’m trying to finish reading Dark Era after a few months long break, and Dazai and Akutagawa’s relationship is so fucked up, because I’m pretty sure Dazai does care about him, but he’s also so blatantly cruel to him.

Like in the scene where Oda wakes up after the thing with Ango and the ball, Dazai mentions Akutagawa by name two separate times unprompted. And then he like gushes about him for a bit. And it’s like… where’s this energy when you’re talking to Akutagawa himself? And this is like a day after he tried to shoot him for fucking up.

And there are other times where it feels like Akutagawa is genuinely an important person to Dazai. It’s perhaps not a good kind of important, but it’s at least the kind of importance you place on someone you invested a lot of time and effort in. He’s one of the three people Dazai let know about the alternate universes in BEAST, implying he at least partially trusts him. And he seems to have tried to give Akutagawa a better life in that universe. And there’s Akutagawa’s backstory, where Dazai does seem a little fond of Akutagawa (he was nice to him for at least a few minutes before he devoted himself to destroying his self esteem). He tells Akutagawa that it’s a good answer when he starts howling, and he drapes his coat over his shoulders to welcome him into the mafia, and it would all almost be sweet if it weren’t for the context. And there’s the scene where Atsushi tells Dazai about the deal he made with Akutagawa, and Dazai smiles fondly and compares him to Oda (the only person we know for a fact Dazai genuinely liked).

Idk, their whole thing just seems very complicated. I think Dazai has a lot of conflicting feelings about Akutagawa. I think he’s proud of him, that’s his protege, and he feels as though he has prepared him for the future through his cruelty. But I think Akutagawa also represents all of his personal failures. His lack of patience, his cruelty, his mafia connection itself. Both in his own past actions towards him, and as a reflection of himself. I think he has convinced himself that the harsh way he treats Akutagawa makes him stronger, but he’s also just taking his own self hatred and frustrations with the situation he’s ended up in out on him.

I also think it’s interesting that while Dazai definitely likes Atsushi more, his intentions towards him were to pair him off with Akutagawa from the very beginning. So he at least still thinks about Akutagawa a lot. And he almost seems to be using Atsushi as both a weapon against Akutagawa, and like a vessel for Akutagawa’s character development? (And a buffer between Akutagawa and himself??? Maybe?) (And I think there’s a lot more to explore there than the fandom thinks). Which all kind of points to Akutagawa being the central point there kind of????? Like at least from the angle that Dazai knew him first and was working this plan off of him and Atsushi simply happened to be what he needed to complete Akutagawa. But he also ended up really liking Atsushi as a person along the way.

#It'd be so much easier if he just hated him #ryūnosuke akutagawa #osamu dazai #bsd ada #sskk #bsd #bsd beast #bsd analysis #This too where in origin tags that didn't end up fitting btw :///#02/11/22 #← Sorry again Op I can delete the post if you want me to.#I just found it unfair to make another post since the considerations are so throughout inspired by the original analysis you made /////

WIP Wednesday - 11/22/23 (Closed) | Smalls AU

There was also the fact that Janie had deeply miscalculated something when she had accepted moving to South Carolina. She could accept the fact that she had signed herself up for a year where she was going to have to deal with some insane sports drama, was going to be dealing with people who are more likely to punch than talk, and that she might end up dying if she wasn't careful.

She could accept all of that. Not happily mind you but she could accept it.

No the thing that she had not anticipated was that it was fucking way hotter.
