Petition Details

Create a law which requires OEM's (original equipment manufacturers) to; create software which does not restrict non-original repalcement parts, sell oem parts and make repair manuals and repair software avalibe to the public (acessible by everyone for free, they not have to give the code)

Additional Information

E-waste makes a significant contribution to climate change, it is unavoidable but can be reduced by repairing your electronic devices. Manifacturers such as apple, sony have been making moves against 3rd-party repair so they can make more money off customers. These manifacturers have been creating software which actively rejects non-original/oem hardware so they can force customers to come back to them if they have a broken device, they can't go anywhere else, the oems offer unreasonable prices so they can force the customer to buy a new product.
