So if these violate federal law , what laws are in place to protect the manufacture from people opening up the component and damaging it then claiming it came like that . Their has to be some give and take protection for both sides

This is the first time I've heard that this is illegal, because most product that are available here in Kuwait have that.

Might just be a U.S law.

And surely there must be some kind of law in place to protect the company from the d**ks who try to take advantage of this.

"Tamper resistant stickers that prevent consumers from opening their electronics violate federal law."

No they don't. That is a misinterpretation of whatever law the author thinks these things are violating. These stickers are there to prevent people from claiming a free repair on something they themselves broke. They let the manufacturer know whether the damage is caused by a legit defect or human error.

Illegal?lol,It's usually covering a screw you must access to open the system.How is preventing that illegal?.
it's an insurance that people didn't tamper with hardware when they request RMA.
