You can trick your whip all you want, but GM says that car is still theirs, no matter what you’ve paid. In a hearing this week, General Motors attorney Harry Lightsey said that purchasing and paying off your GM vehicle is a license agreement and not ownership.
The U.S Copyright Office is holding a hearing on whether anyone other than the vehicle’s manufacturer has the right to alter the that car’s copyrighted software. With modern design being what it is, this means almost altering anything about the vehicle.
Mechanics and private owners are saying they need to be allowed to make repairs on their vehicles to keep them running or maintain their business. But GM is saying that anyone unauthorized altering anything about the vehicle could create problems with the software and endanger the driver. This sounds more like a business ploy on the part of GM to hold a monopoly on vehicle repairs.

Well I don’t think I’ve bothered buying a GM vehicle since 1975. That was enough to convince me to look at better products.
I went from Fords to Nissan, because the Nissan trucks are made in the USA. Ford builds them in Mexico. I don’t want a Mexican truck.
Ford is foreign. The trucks are made in Mexico and they built a transmission plant in China. Nissan are built in Tennessee.
Thanks Gary West. I did not know that. I knew, some Ford components came from Mexico..
After years of litigation, shareholders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac finally have FULL PROOF that the Obama Administration had stolen BILLIONS through government sponsored entities. They claimed they were belly up and did a full sweep of all the money LEFT. They messed with the wrong people as “Fairholme Funds who they also stole from.” Strange how the Dems spend all their time coming after Trump in order to HIDE all this MESS!
