5/ I'm a (hobby) farmer, I'm a tinkerer, I'm the kind of guy who rather than throw away a broken $60 chair from Staples, cuts out 1/8" steel plate, drills holes, breaks out the taps and dies, and fixes it. ...and I ** HATE ** "right to repair".

There's a limited version of 'right to repair' that focuses on preventing bullshit lawsuits: even if I like the business model, it's not the gov's place to throw people in jail under DCMA for poking at it. But the agreements here don't seem _that_ unreasonable.

DMCA isn't really related to "repair." It's related to modification, or more specifically, bypassing protections to defeat tinkering/modification. The repair/reconstruction doctrine is actually grounded in patent law, is longstanding, and exempts repair from infringement.

It’s common to use the word “right” like this, for instance, “right to health care” usually isn’t meant to be “right to access healthcare” but “right to free healthcare”.
