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.

Hmmmm
Don’t buy General Motors. Problem solved. Why do dumbass’s cut their own throats?
OMG this is crazy
Ok so I will no longer buy yours or any others new vehicles then
I will just buy old school stuff which I actually prefer anyways
You know something? It’s bad enough that you car manufacturers are now charging $40,000. for a brand new truck but now you pull this c**p?
Guess what I don’t need your new vehicles I’m a free citizen I can buy the old stuff and rebuild it into oblivion if necessary
Lmfao that corporation your running isn’t yours to run your temporarily employed
So buy foreign cars then is that what they are saying.
Sounds like General Motors has gone Communist. There’re plenty of great alternatives to GM products for those who dislike their attitude!
A good reason no to buy gm junk.
Why do ya think they keep making crappy products of low ‘quality’, yet MORE complicated? So THEY can be the Only ones who can ‘fix’ their b.s. product and charge a fortune to do it…
So? Don’t buy GM products!
