Court Ruling Could Finally Fix McDonald's McFlurry Machines in New York State

CNN reports that the United States Copyright Office granted a copyright exemption that will give restaurants, like McDonald's, the right to bypass certain digital blocks and restrictions that had prevented the equipment from being fixed.

Many store owners and managers had complained for years that the machines were very hard to repair when they went down.

McDonald’s restaurants hadn’t been able to correct the problem themselves because the company that owned and built the McFlurry makers also happened to "own the copyright and exclusive rights to fix the machines", says CNN.

The new rules went into effect November 4.
