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.

I USE TO TELL MY “GENIUS” COMPUTER DAUGHTER THAT ELECTRONICS WERE GOING TO BE THE DOWNFALL OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. IT I READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL ABOUT IT AS IT PLAINLY STATES THAT YOU’RE BEING TRICKED AND TRAPPED.THE CODES ARE SUCH AS “CONNECTIONS,” “INTERNET,” “WEB,” “CELL,” “DEVICES,” “GADGETS,” AND ETC. JUST TO NAME A FEW. NOTICE THAT EACH OF THESE CODES LISTED IS IN REFERENCE TO ACTUALLY BEING PRISONER RELATED. THAT WAS THEIR POINT IN GOING ELECTRONICALLY TO BE CONTROLLED ONE DAY BY THE ONES IN CONTROL OF ALL THESE GADGETS. IF WE THINK SOME PEOPLE ARE ACTING BATS*** CRAZY NOW WE HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING YET UNTIL THE MIND CONTROLLERS SHUTS THEM DOWN. THEY’RE ALREADY PLAYING GAMES WITH US WITH THEM AND WE’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO TRUTHFULLY KEEP THEM UPDATED BECAUSE BY THE TIME THAT WE PURCHASE THE VERSIONS IN STOCK THERE’S AN EVEN NEWER VERSION WAITING IN WAREHOUSES TO BE STOCKED ON THE SHELVES TO REPLACE WHAT WE JUST PURCHASED. IT’S A NEVER ENDING EXPENSE!
Ya and$#%&!@*you too

The software of the vehicles computers
Wrong GM, SCOTUS has said so many times.
They’ve (Big business) have tried this tact before and lost, this is no difference, they don’t own it and it’s not a lease unless that is what you signed.
Ok. Let’s all give them back and get anything but GM. When the fail and want the government to help them. Let them fail.
Well! Bye bye miss American pie, no more chevy, no more levy
Now that’s a sales pitch!
I’ll stick with Ford and Honda.
Good.
That means we can dump the wrecks on their doorstep and they are responsible for the disposal of their garbage..
