In one of the coolest and more outrageous repair stories in quite some time, three white-hat hackers helped a regional rail company in southwest Poland unbrick a train that had been artificially rendered inoperable by the train’s manufacturer after an independent maintenance company worked on it. The train’s manufacturer is now threatening to sue the hackers who were hired by the independent repair company to fix it.
After breaking trains simply because an independent repair shop had worked on them, NEWAG is now demanding that trains fixed by hackers be removed from service.
The anti-circumvention clause is being abused for some years now, it’s disgusting.
This is the sort of case that can fix it
Is it abuse, or is it working exactly as intended?
They mean it’s abusive in nature I guess
So which anti-circumvention clause do you mean?
Remember, US law doesn’t apply in Europe and as much as I know there is nothing like that in the EU.
