Does no one know about California's so-called "Lemon Law" that has preceded this recent right-to-repair craze by decades? Most people ignorantly presume that it only pertains to automobiles; that isn't true. It pertains to ANY product sold to citizens that had a sale price of over $100(?). It required that manufacturers continue to provide parts and documentation necessary to maintain any such product for no less than seven years.
When my favorite 21-inch Nokia CRT monitor died in the late Nineties, I discovered that Nokia had pulled some typical corporate shenanigans: they had sold their display subsidiary to Viewsonic while I owned the monitor. However, Nokia effectively gave Viewsonic little more than the brand name, because some or all of the parts were being supplied by third parties who were not under contract to Viewsonic and so had stopped making the crucial parts. I wanted to get it repaired, and several shops were willing but unable because of the missing parts.
At some point in the many conversations I had, someone had mentioned how the Lemon Law applied. I contacted a lawyer about using it as the basis for a lawsuit, but they declined to take the case.
California, at least, has been trying to do right by hobbyist engineers and the environment for DECADES, and no one else was paying attention until now. I certainly wish people had been paying attention when I needed my favorite monitor repaired.
