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.

Welcome to socialism, that is what we get for funding their move to red china
I know allllllll about that. My parents bought a car back in 2008 with cash and asked the dealership for their MCO and they had so many supervisors to go through because no one knew what they were talking about. That rabbit hole is deeper than most realize…
Don’t know where u live but in IL we get the physical title. I have every title to every truck, boat, and trailer I own. They are mine and no one can claim otherwise.
U get a physical certificate of title, look again.
If you truly own your car you would have the MSO. The MSO is the only allodial title and the state holds it and gives you a certificate of title. The MSO is turned over my the manufacturer before you ever bought your vehicle. This is what allows the state to pull you over, ticket you, impound their legal property, charge you registration fees and taxes etc.
Screw you gm you still owe us billions Obama let you keep which is b******t we still own you
Ya dont really own the house you buy either. So whats new?
