@THEBAR PODCAST: THE RIGHT TO REPAIR YOUR STUFF

Trisha Rich hosts this episode of the Chicago Bar Association’s @theBar Podcast discussing the consumer’s right to repair their own equipment, as many manufacturers are creating barriers and incentivizing the purchase of new products instead of allowing consumers to easily fix or modify it themselves. The episode focused on the reasons why the right to repair has become so difficult for consumers, the legislative efforts being made to change this precedent, and the positive impact empowering consumers can have on the environment and local economy. Listen here.
