Aproximaciones jurídicas a la obsolescencia programada

he book that the reader now has in their hands is, basically, the result of the passion and determination of Dr. Soto Pineda, who has encouraged and coordinated a large group of professors and lawyers to address planned obsolescence. And they do so covering almost all of their legal perspectives or aspects: the constitutional, the classic civil/commercial regarding the regime of vices, the consumer, the antitrust, the international and the criminal.

Passion and determination are the axes that must discipline the work of every researcher in the field of Natural Sciences or the so-called Social Sciences, including Law. Passion understood as lively and real interest is the driving force that drives, first, to become interested in a topic and, later, to delve deeper into it. But if there is no tenacity, determination and perseverance in study, passion will not bear any fruit. It is not enough to want to know. To know you have to surround yourself with the precise instruments. And, in the case of Law, those instruments are the readings. These allow us to reflect from the points of view of other authors. But also thanks to those, and when necessary, passion is tamed. By confronting our intuitions or preconceptions with the ideas expressed by others who preceded us, sometimes we reaffirm ourselves in them, but, other times, we are led to qualify them or, simply, to correct them. Legal research, when it is honest, has something magical, since it does not allow itself to be led by the author, but leads him to him.
