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.
Wouldn’t want public to find out that the E-Meter is IIRC just a fancy resistance meter, do we?
Or how to break the DRM the company introduced just to make sure that the E-Meter cannot be used by everyone. Or that my multimeter is much cooler and has a built-in scope as opposed to their thing.
Don’t know the first thing about these E-Meters but it’s really funny to me that they think tampering with the device could harm the Church’s reputation and goodwill. I wonder why that would be the case. If Apple doesn’t get a way out, neither does Scientology.
Here’s a video that goes into detail what is inside Mark-Super-7 E-Meter. https://piped.video/watch?v=N2O0oen6E90
The successor requires an online activation to be used. Unlike my UT81-B multimeter with integrated scope.
Btw i feel like we should make a mod for the E-Meter to allow users to plug in different probes to use them as proper resistance meters. You know, for the electrically inclined ex-scientologist.
Scientology might yet get a way out just because they are a religion legally.
