Good luck. I'd support it if it were not a US thing.

From the comments on the link: > Doesn't really matter where you live be it US, Europe, South America (like me) and others, this movement will affect all of us and will shoot down the predatory prices these companies charge us, so I'm doing my part!

    The money has to go somewhere. I’d prefer for him to have a lot more based on what I’ve seen from him and where my beliefs are at.

  If he does the same in the EU I will believe it has a chance and I'll support it. In Apple's homeland? Not a chance.

    I'd normally be cynical too, but MA just passed right to repair for automotive, despite 8-figure lobbying by the automakers... The auto one passed 75% in favor. If the citizens want it, even Apple can't stop it.

Were this legislation to pass in the US, this would likely affect the rest of the world as well In various ways: firstly, it would allow you to actually get these components regardless of where you live. More over, it would possibly help drive similar legislation in other countries. There are probably other things that it would help that I haven't listed as well.

  In the same vein, if the EU passes a right to repair - which I assume they don’t currently have - then those parts should be made available to US consumers as well. If this interests you, it would make sense to support political efforts worldwide, regardless of your own citizenship.

  Yes but the place to do this is the place that has the biggest chance to succeed, so in the EU.

Getting those parts into public supply chain benefits you no matter where you live. The current state of affairs is that manufacturers in China strike deals with Apple, etc, to only sell ICs to them. This is an end-run around that practice.

Good luck. I'd support it if it were not a US thing.
