McBroken
McDonald's ice cream machines are always broken. The situation has become so absurd that there's even a website, "McBroken," that shows in real-time which restaurants' ice cream machines are out of order, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The problem hasn't been with the machines themselves, but that franchise owners have been trapped in a digital prison. When an ice cream machine malfunctions, owners have been forced to wait for a certified technician from the manufacturer.
Now, the US Copyright Office, with support from both the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, has given franchise owners the right to "digitally pick the locks" of their own ice cream machines. This means restaurants can finally fix the machines themselves, without having to wait for permission.
