We did start somewhere. We started with "we are allowed to do with our own property whatever we want." this law codified removal of those rights.

- justapassenger 3y agoDid you read the article or the law? This law requires manufacturers to provide parts, tools and documentation for how to repair their products. It didn't change anything about rights of people to do whatever they want with their property.
- bbor 3y agoThis is not at all accurate. From the bill introduction: The bill would require... the manufacturer of an above-described electronic or appliance product... to make available, on fair and reasonable terms, to product owners, service and repair facilities, and service dealers, the means, as described, to effect the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of the product, as provided. The bill would also require a service and repair facility or service dealer that is not an authorized repair provider, as defined, of a manufacturer to provide a written notice of that fact to any customer seeking repair... The bill would also authorize a city, a county, a city and county, or the state to bring an action in superior court to impose civil penalties on a person or entity for violating the Right to Repair Act, as provided. The bill would make these requirements and enforcement provisions operative on July 1, 2024. Would love to be proven wrong though, could easily be missing something hidden in there. Both pages seem to be purely about requiring things of people though, not allowing things.
