A group representing L. Ron Hubbard asked the Copyright Office to alter a repair exemption that makes it legal to hack Scientology’s E-Meter—and lots of other electronics, too.

The device itself already did that. Just another example to throw on the pile.

They’re believing their own hype. They can relax. This is a non-issue.
People who aren’t scientologists will be unsurprised to learn that e-meters are pseudoscientific bullshit. People who are scientologists will be too brainwashed to care about trivial things like “facts” and “evidence”.
They don’t hand e-meters out like candy. You have to be with the organization for a while, and be “trained” to use it before you’re even allowed to buy one. If someone actually owns an e-meter, they’re already a true believer, critic, or just a collector of oddities. The law doesn’t need to be changed to protect scientology, and personally, I don’t think it should be.

It’s kind of a self-report in a way. The fact that they’re even making a big deal about it indicates there is something they don’t want members to see. If they had just ignored it, like you say, nobody would have cared on either side lol.

Every once in a while a headline really catches me off guard… This is one of those times.

Yeah no that’s not how that works. Else churches could start going around dictating how the Bibles they give out are used? If it’s given or purchased, go fuck yourself, I’m tired of entities trying to claim ownership of things that are no longer physically theirs.
