Goddamnit, Reddit, I thought you were all supposed to be STEM types. Do the freaking math on this.

Repair knowledge belongs to the world. We're sharing everything we possibly can, and working to change existing laws so we can share even more.

I hope you do profit, because this is very important.Obviously,you have a much bigger platform than I do to make change and I hope you do. You would profit albeit indirectly from a repair manual, because you do sell the replacement parts at almost OEM value. I have many times used your guides without buying your parts, but I also have contributed to the community in a useful way.Even the way you package and market your repair kits/ products adds value to them. People having the knowledge to fix their own electronics threatens these companies financially. Which is why I imagine they are trying to use copyright laws to make it very hard for you to publish a repair manual. I really appreciate what iFixit is doing and hope it does not get hit by a meteor. Although that would be a very specific area for a meteor to hit, so I might be slightly impressed.
