Techdirt has been covering the fight for a „Right to Repair“ for a long time — Mike first wrote about it in 2009. Even though the idea seems a no-brainer — you bought it, why shouldn‘t you be able to repair it? — progress has been extremely slow, as successive Techdirt articles have chronicled. One of the most important developments is a number of „Right to Repair“ bills that are being considered by various state legislatures. These typically require electronics manufacturers to make service manuals available to the public, and to sell repair parts.
