Computer repairman and AustinPCTech owner Mike Rife had no idea - until a month ago - that he frequently breaks the law when he repairs his customers' computers.

The Institute for Justice, a legal advocacy group for entrepreneurs, informed Rife last month of a Texas state law requiring computer repair shops to have a private investigator's license to fix computers.
