The recent court ruling by the United States Copyright Office granted a copyright exemption allowing restaurants the 'right to repair' McDonald's ice cream machines, bypassing digital locks that have prevented timely repairs. This change seeks to address the widespread frustration due to malfunctioning machines, which have become a notable issue among customers.
