| There are now 11 states considering 'right to repair' bills The right to repair movement is spreading. In recent weeks legislators in Iowa, Missouri, and North Carolina have introduced bills that would make it easier for you to fix your electronics, joining eight other states that introduced right-to-repair legislation earlier this year. The bills would require manufacturers to sell replacement parts to consumers and independent repair companies and would also require them to open source diagnostic manuals. It would also give independent repair professionals the ability to bypass software locks that prevent repairs, allowing them to return a gadget back to its factory settings. No-brainer laws in any functioning democracy. I hope these US states show the way, so other states - and hopefully, other countries - will follow. http://osnews.com/story/29761/There_...repai r_bills |
