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.

Simple solution to that don’t buy GM or Ford they aren’t made in the U.S. anyways. If you want to buy American VW is in Chattanooga. Nissan is in Alabama. Toyota has a plant up north somewhere. Honda makes dependable cars. (I have a 2000 accord runs amazing) who needs GM, Ford, or Chrysler?
I wont buy anything from government motors.
Then come take it.
Well$#%&!@*GM, they got bailed out with our money, so stop buying their cars and let um sink again. Nice to see so many people waking up in America. 🙂
That’s why I rather own old Chevys.
Uh huh sure…This is funny stuff lol
And people wonder why I bought a Ford……
Well …I’ll tell yah what GM …YOU DON’T MATTER …& here is why! Accept a dirty look from German engineering! I don’t waste my money on your c**p & what I read is just one more good reason. Sell the manufacturing patents for the Corvette to BMW & I’ll buy one!
