The most vocal person behind the right to repair movement: ▶ this video Oh, and he runs a professional repair shop...
I'd highly reccomended his video "What is right to repair? An introduction for curious people." as it clears up many misconceptions about right to repair: ▶ this video
"Many people have asked for a simple, concise, non-profanity laden video that summarizes the issue that is shareable to politicians and family members. Here you go. No profanity, no technobabble, just a basic explanation. Go forth and share. Thank you!" -- Louis Rossmann What is Right to repair? An intro: ▶ this video
Yes! Spread the word too. Also, if you know a professional that might be able to help him out with the legal/politics/etc., consider reaching out. He's a sharp guy but it's still a tough task and he is going to need all the help he can get. And so does our planet. Donation link: link Pitch for non-techies: ▶ this video
Buying new stuff in the west is now cheaper than repairing old items - this is a combination of outsourcing production, loosing skills, and deliberate efforts by compabies like Apple and Sonor to make their equipment unrepairable. ▶ this video
What in the actual fuck! I laughed so hard at this video just to watch in disgust how the DCMA and it's lackey GH would take down a repo that has nothing to do with Casio other than the name perhaps. Where is the freedom to tinker? If I modify my Toyota Corolla to take a Ferrari engine would Ferrari or Toyota come to my house and take my car away? Fight for your right to repair: link ▶ this video
