Update. In rural America, right-to-repair laws are the leading edge of a pushback against growing corporate power
theconversation.com/in-rural-a

"Under the agreement, John promises to give farmers and independent repair shops access to manuals, diagnostics and parts. But there’s a catch – the agreement isn’t legally binding, and, as part of the deal, the influential promised not to support any federal or state legislation."

`John Deere said the prices for the diagnostic tools vary. The company’s database of technical manuals listed prices as high as $3,160 for one year of access.

`“This absolutely could be a significant revenue stream for John Deere,” said Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, an online repair guide, and one of the leaders of the right-to-repair movement.`

Excellent background from @doctorow.
doctorow.medium.com/john-deere

" abuses copyright law to force farmers to pay for official repairs — even when the farmer does the repair. That’s possible thanks to a practice called VIN locking, in which engine parts come with that prevents the tractor from recognizing them until they pay hundreds of dollars for a John Deere technician to come to their farm and type an unlock code into the tractor’s console."

Plus: The win is not as good as it looks.

John Deere signs agreement giving farmers significant their tractors:

`The MOU aims to find a solution to the "right to repair" debate in the private sector, rather than through legislation or regulation, according to the document. It benefits farmers and independent repair facilities in the United States and Puerto Rico, for the "lawful operation and upkeep of Agricultural Equipment," the MOU states.`
