You Own Devices Act Amends federal copyright law to allow the owner of a machine or other product operated in any part by a computer program to transfer an authorized copy of the computer program, or the right to obtain such copy, when the owner sells, leases, or otherwise transfers the machine or product to another person. Prohibits such right to transfer the computer program from being waived by any agreement. Requires any right to receive modifications to such a computer program relating to security or error correction that applied to the owner of the machine or product to apply to the person to whom the machine or product and the copy of the computer program are transferred. Prohibits this Act from being construed to permit the owner to retain an unauthorized copy of the computer program after such a transfer.

Right to Repair legislation is a trend that EDA has been tracking at the state and federal level. We oppose H.R. 862, known as the You Own Devices Act, introduced by Congressman Blake Farentold. We are concerned that this type of legislation has serious safety and liability concerns. There is currently a great deal of service and repair information which is made available to owners and independent service providers who want to service equipment. As such, the idea that equipment owners cannot service their own equipment is false. In fact, authorized dealers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are partners with their customers offering a wide range of training and educational opportunities to allow customers to perform maintenance and to maximize the productivity of their equipment! That said, repairing highly specialized equipment is an ongoing effort that requires both skill and continued education on the part of OEMs and authorized dealers. The service, diagnostic and repair information that is, in fact, restricted by OEMs to authorized dealers is restricted because this information requires a high degree of skill to interpret the data and perform repairs safely. EDA opposes S. 812 and H.R. 1879 (companion bills known as the PARTS Act) and H.R. 905 (the Own Your Own Devices Act.
