When a company announces End of Life (EOL) of a product, there should be a law or regulation that demands that latest at the day of the EOL all service manuals are made available for free to at least the owners of said product, better though to the general public.
@jwildeboer I'm not 100% sure, but i think aviation has a regulation like this - not publishing, but available on request.
(as a student i worked in a company doing parts for airplanes)
@lobingera @jwildeboer precedent like that could be a real boon to an effort to push new regulation!
