Re:Copyright Office Ruling Imposes Sweeping Right to Repair ... by pdkl95 on Thursday October 25, 2018 @02:44PM (#18303423)
While it would be hard to argue in court, a copyright holder attempting to extend copyright beyond the scope of that copy-related right could be misuse of copyright[1]. Based on the doctrine of "unclean hands", a judge could rule a copyright to be unenforceable if the copyright holder tries to enforce some type of property right clearly outside the scope of the copyright protected work.
