>Where do your rights begin and another’s end?

This idea of a nice binary black and white cutoff for rights does not, and has not ever existed. This really is an absurdist American viewpoint. Let's make an example

"it's my legal right to pour a cup of water out on my property"

And, no one would really disagree with that.

"So I'm going to do it with a million cups of water all at once"

In which a flood happens destroying others property..., then we would see that the measure of ones actions is the consequences to others. If you make a car for yourself, go ahead and build it how you want. If you are making a mass produced product it's no longer about you or your rights. It's a superposition of your rights, the buyers rights, and the 'publics' rights as you dispose of that product.

The concept of rights is not binary, but at a certain point there cannot be multiple conflicting “rights” — 1 must get preference.

The maker starts with a right to make a product as they see best. The buyer has a right to purchase or not. The “public’s” rights are an interesting concept.

>The maker starts with a right to make a product as they see best.

I'm pretty sure we're not even on the same planet at this point. If you think this is true, go produce some products as 'you see best' and see how long before you end up in criminal/civil court. There are myriads of regulations on what you can and cannot put in products that are sold to others. To think otherwise is a level disillusionment that only the most staunch libertarians reach.

The public has rights, the market is not a free for all do to whatever you'd like.
