Thank you very much for that.
I don't actually have any existing court cases in mind, but regarding this issue, there is always the grey area. Parts can be imported from where the product is manufactured, and using them is a repair option for consumers. Fixing that device through an authorized dealer would definitely cost more than it would in a third party repair shop that is probably open in some communities. Is it illegal to do such circumvention?
I think it also comes with a huge consequence for the consumer, because finding a less expensive repair alternative also creates other restrictions on further use of their warranty.
