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 paid for it , It’s fucking mine !!
If GM says it belongs to them then they can pay for all the repairs , I’ll pay for the gas & oil I use.
Bad news for them! Mine was paid off by the original owner, and I’m literally the Third owner of the ’82 F150!
maybe they should do something about the SHITTY paint they are / were slapping on their vehicles regardless of age .
Well their auto lock insurance is due , so where do they want the bill to be sent?
Why is this news Harley Davidson has done this for years.
When you stop and think about it ,they don’t own then either. All things belong to God.
Don’t buy them! Let them keep them then!
F**k Government Motors. There are much better cars out there anyways.
Don’t have a single car by GM, never will after the way they bankrupted and screwed their Bond holders.
