How about a law stating that the terms of all contracts with corporations be listed in a public registry?
You want the state to enforce the terms of your agreement, you put that agreement out in the open. No secret laws, and no secret laws-by-proxy.
Now that is an idea. Me like. Of course, that means business will fight against it sooo
Then you’d just have the police knocking whenever you used an aftermarket part. They’ll just force everyone to agree to them enforcing those contracts when they buy the product. After all, the EULA is given to everyone, has terrible shit in it, but people sign it anyways because if you don’t, you don’t get to use the product.
Any law pregraduate knows those EULAs are not valid in court.
This is already illegal, though.
Using third party parts/repairs is not cause to void a warranty in the US (Magnuson Moss), and most of Europe and Australia are stricter than the US is.
