  title: [How anti-repair practices are contributing to an excess in waste],
  abstract: [
    Right-to-repair legislation is challenged by OEMs and larger firms, claiming concerns for end-user data privacy, IP infringement, and degrading of products with cheaper replacement parts. They use these claims to perpetrate practices of locking down software crucial for diagnosing technical issues, building products to be difficult to disassemble, and voiding warranty if they are opened. These practices reduce the incentive for a consumer to continue using a product after it fails, even if the issue is a minor fix, such as replacing the screen or battery. These often still functional electronic products are treated as disposables, instead of a tool which is able to be serviced back to its original function. Supporting right to repair is crucial to allowing the extension of product lifespan, which will reduce electronic waste, and minimize the environmental footprint of consumer goods.

= 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?
The principle of the right to repair movement is giving consumers the freedom to disassemble, diagnose, and fix/refurbish all products that they own.
= How are manufacturers fighting back?
== Ethical Issues
This section will focus on the ethical issues surrounding IP infringement, and how replicability may parasitize manufacturer profits. I will use the 3 sources of the header broadly throughout this whole section. @two-wrongs-dont-make-a-right @unintended-consequences @economic-downsides 
== OEMs' arguments
This section will focus on debunking other less-justified arguments for limiting repair.

= Why is right to repair important?
== Environmental concerns
== Cost saving
== Ownership

= What can be done to help?
== Ongoing Lawsuits
== Other Activism and Demonstrations
