If They Can Ban “Code,” Right to Repair Is Next

Описание: California just filed a civil lawsuit tied to 3D-printing file sites, and the precedent matters way beyond 3D printing. If courts can treat certain “code” like contraband, it changes what makers can share, repair, and build online.

I’m not a lawyer. This is commentary on a public filing, not legal advice. In this video I walk through what’s being alleged, why the legal theory is bigger than one niche, and why makers should pay attention to the precedent being set around sharing files, code, and instructions online.
