Ask Dr. Copyright© About the “Right to Repair”

August 26, 2021 Lawrence Husick Ask Dr. Copyright

Dear Doc: For years, it’s been nearly impossible to do repairs on some kinds of equipment.

Ask Dr. Copyright © About Working at Home During a Pandemic

Dear Doc: It’s a year into the pandemic, and it seems that most “information workers” are working virtually, while most “essential workers” are still bravely showing up every day.
