Interestingly there are laws to prevent this with automobiles - OEMs must produce parts for x years after the vehicle is sold. I wonder if we need similar laws

Interestingly there are laws to prevent this with automobiles - OEMs must produce parts for x years after the vehicle is sold.
I wonder if we need similar laws for electronic hardware?

- jmrm 5y agoI don't know in the rest of Europe, but in Spain there is a new law that forces companies to keep spare parts for at least 10 years. I think this is too much for mobile phones, but I find it pretty correct to laptops and other consumer electronics.
- vitorgrs 5y agoHere in Brazil there is a law about providing support for 5 years. If the company don't have a way to fix the problem (lack of parts or same product fixed), they need to give you another better or equivalent product or give the money back.
