    So what’s the new solution in place of DRM to make sure that the things you make aren’t ripped off by China or any other rich competitor?

    What’s to stop the big players that are already seated in their thrones from abusing and stealing shit from the peasants?

      How does forcing a company like Apple or John Deere to allow their customers to repair their own products lead you to think China isn’t already ripping off every bit of tech they come across?

        Listen, I’m pro right to repair, but I’m against solutions that cause more problems for the average Joe.

        I also did not say what you’re claiming, that’s your interpretation. Of course China commits mass IP theft left and right, but do you think it would be easier or harder for them to do it with DRM removed?

        That’s my point. We cannot afford to make hasty solutions, there is plenty already at stake for regular ass people in this world run by the rich and powerful.
