Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The "right to modify", being inseparable from the right to own, is inalienable by definition. And the ability to modify is strongly correlated with the ability to repair.

Sadly the right to own is in decline. Everything is getting more complicated, with the right to own being limited and restricted and your contracts when you buy saying that you can only have limited ownership of certain parts of things for certain uses at certain times in certain ways, and and up to certain points. The one thing that is certain is, is that none of the changes are for the consummers benefit.
