The RIGHT TO REPAIR from the perspective of farmers, small businesses & consumers
8 months ago

"Copyright is being used now, in my view, as an anti-competitive tool to keep the customer tied to the manufacturer and unable to use less expensive providers of repair and maintenance.
...
This way of going about these repairs, in my view, is anti-competitive; it is harmful to farmers, small businesses and consumers. Property owners ought to be allowed to repair the piece of equipment they have purchased in the most economical way possible. They should be able to have a variety of resources at their disposal when fixing equipment, not just the pre-approved, monopolistic authorized agent from the manufacturer.
The Copyright Act has become a government-legislated gatekeeper harming consumer choice. It was not intended to be this way."
