This exemption to copyright laws will apply to smartphones, tractors, cars, smart home appliances, and many other devices. > It allows breaking digital rights management (DRM) and embedded software locks for “the maintenance of a device or system … to make it work in accordance with its original specifications” or for “the repair of a device or system … to a state of working in accordance with its original specifications.”
