[México] Reparar tu smartphone o instalarle una ROM será delito en México: la nueva ley que protege los candados digitales, explicada

Repairing your smartphone or installing a ROM will be a crime in Mexico: the new law that protects digital locks, explained
Installing a custom ROM, downloading and using software that does not come from the same provider, and even repairing a phone, involves breaking a digital lock (also known as DRM), which is now expressly prohibited in the Federal Copyright Law. Digital padlocks are technological protection measures that hardware manufacturers or developers use for their copyrights to be protected. In this way, users cannot make a copy of the information that the systems contain and cannot access the software code.
The problem is that breaking padlocks is part of the process to repair a computer, update a device that has been discontinued by the manufacturer, or prevent a device from collecting user information.
The new Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada enters into force on July 1. It was a priority of Congress that before it happened, a series of laws were harmonized, among which is the Federal Law on Copyright. Although civil organizations such as the Network for the Defense of Digital Rights and Article 19 denounced that the law could give way to cases of "prior censorship", and the debate loomed (but did not materialize) in the Senate, the reforms to the Law were approved both in the Senate and in the Chamber of Deputies on June 29 and 30 respectively. The same document established that digital locks must not be broken, with very few exceptions.

We need right-to-repair laws now more than ever
This year could have been a huge one for right-to-repair activism — and it still could be, too.
Lawmakers in 20 states have introduced bills that would force manufacturers to share their manuals and diagnostic tools with electronics owners. If passed, these laws would mean that do-it-yourself dabblers and independent fix-it shops could get the same info that official repair partners do to correctly replace worn-out cell phone batteries, faulty optical drives, and all of those other curable headaches that force you to either visit an authorized repair shop or toss the device in the scrap heap.
Faced with an uncertain financial future and ample free time, many people are opting to fix old electronics themselves, rather than spending money on new devices or expensive professional repair services. Sales on the DIY repair kit site iFixit are more than five times the normal, estimates co-founder Kyle Wiens. The numbers on the Nintendo Switch left joystick replacement pack, in particular, are “through the roof,” he says.
