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.

    They’re believing their own hype. They can relax. This is a non-issue.

    People who aren’t scientologists will be unsurprised to learn that e-meters are pseudoscientific bullshit. People who are scientologists will be too brainwashed to care about trivial things like “facts” and “evidence”.

    They don’t hand e-meters out like candy. You have to be with the organization for a while, and be “trained” to use it before you’re even allowed to buy one. If someone actually owns an e-meter, they’re already a true believer, critic, or just a collector of oddities. The law doesn’t need to be changed to protect scientology, and personally, I don’t think it should be.
