Thanks, I didn&#x27;t really consider this part of the problem. I thought, for &quot;gadgets&quot; (pc, smartphones and small electronics), DRM was a limited problem (I heard about coffee machines and cat litterbox DRM, and that&#x27;s it). But it may well becomes a problem, if manufacturers find that people repairing gadgets reduce their revenue, which pre-suppose a non-negligible part of potential consumers are motivated to repair instead of buying new (I am not sure it&#x27;s really a lot right now).<p>For limited access to parts, it depends what &quot;parts&quot; we are talking about. If it is an electronic part (capacitor, microcontroller etc...), most gadgets use off-the-shelf components, that are easy to find, provided you know where to search. If it is a black-box with very specific requirements (screen, battery, whole PCB ..), access to parts may indeed be a problem.<p>While I like the political right to repair, we have to be careful about what this mean. How does it affect small companies, that may not have the time to produce documentation, or very integrated products that can&#x27;t really be repaired (which, if there is an exception, becomes a loophole big companies will use, of course).
