Couldn't states go after companies under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act instead of writing new state legislation.

We need to modify the DMCA to truly address this

We need to eliminate the DMCA. From printer ink to abandon ware to simple ownership of products we purchase, the DMCA stands in the way at every step.
