Think you own your car? Think you own that tractor you just bought for the farm? Bought a book for download? Guess what? You don't own it no matter what you paid.
Check out this little video on what right to repair really means for you.

This is why I pirate everything and drive a 20 year old Lexus.
An excellent documentary showing the difference between using technology to make product improvements for efficiency and productivity vs embedding licensing limitations and restrictions to enrich a bunch of greedy bastards.
This is where Capitalism is exceeding the individuals right to liberty. All driven by technology.
Thanks for sharing KF. Perhaps the incoming DOJ can pull back the curtain on this reality, get a ruling from the SCOTUS, and turn back the global push by Big Tech to control everything. Defeating the Deep State comes first, then defeating Corporate Corruption must happen.
or our legislature could actually do something useful and pass some good right to repair legislation. Near the end of the video, it gets into subscriptions. Used to be you could buy Lightroom for one price. Not anymore. Adobe makes you pay a subscription for it now. Main reason I don't get it. What was most egregious was the bit about the wheelchairs.
Our Ag Commish could push for some right to repair legislation as well.
Why would the Republicans stand up for the little guy instead of protecting corporate profits? This is an easy issue for the right wing politicians to stand up for corporate rights and everyone knows those rights will eventually trickle down to the little guys.
I OWN two cars and three trucks, several campers, boats and utility trailers. Got two tags and swap them around, as need be. Ain't nobody paid for any of it but me.
Now, my acreage, I know the man down to the courthouse will always own that.
Thanks KF, very informative documentary.
If "Right to Repair" laws (which are bad enough) are not passed, then pretty soon digital rights such as a Central Bank Digital Currency will be used to prevent you from purchasing (or saving) items in the manner you see fit.
Yet another Idjit seeing boogie-man behind every tree in the forest and salivating over the irrational nonsense of digital currency and magic-coinage.
According to this guy, we don't know whether to save fallen elm leaves for currency or wipe our ass with them.
Wicker and Guest will come to help Mississippians from predatory companies in 3....2....1....0.99999999....0.99999998....0.99999997....
Saw this vid a day or so after hitting YouTube. Would have thought this one would have received more JJ replies with the out of control greed and the electorate too indoctrinated to know why things cost more and the excessive wealth gap continues.
Free market Republicans used to protect us from idiot & no morals vote buying Democrats that would bloat the government, unionize everything they could and ruin the country for all but enough of the electorate that would keep electing Democrats.
Democrats used to protect us from idiot & no morals vote buying Republicans that are just fine with quasi-monopolies that make things less efficient and more expensive, as long as those campaign contributions keep rolling in.
But Democrats sold their souls to the rich techies decades ago then decided chemical castration of children, penises in the little girl’s bathrooms, biological males running over girls, 24 year old’s in Cali having sex with 14 years old boys is just fine, using crime and chaos to destroy cities and states in order to take them over forever, etc., etc., etc., thereby leaving those of us that used to vote both ways with no other choice but the turd with much, much less stink.
Unregulated capitalism at its finest.
