= Thesis
Despite claims of privacy concerns and IP infringement by corporations and manufacturers, right to repair laws are crucial to a sustainable circular economy--extending product lifespan, reducing electronic waste, and minimizing the environmental footprint of consumer goods.
= What is right to repair?
In short, "right to repair" is the ability to fix the products you purchase. However, this right is debated by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers who broadly claim that allowing consumers to exercise this right freely could lead to adverse consequences. Because of the decline in the ease of repairing many electronic goods, a movement has evolved around the idea of right to repair. The principle of the movement is giving consumers the freedom to disassemble and diagnose issues to refurbish and fix all products that they own.
In short, "right to repair" is the ability to fix the products you purchase. Because of the decline in the ease of repairing many electronic goods, a movement has evolved around the idea of right to repair. The principle of the movement is that if you own a product, you should have the ability to obtain the parts, documentation, tools, and software access needed to repair or modify the product. Right to repair as a movement is assertive of the concept "that ownership should be absolute"--that buying means buying the freedom to maintain it and restore it without relying exclusively on the manufacturer @repair-org.
