If we don't continue to oppose the liberal dems, then the whole country would turn into what they have created in CA. Europe is a great example of what we could potentially become "let the govt. tie your hands first, then go out and attempt to make a living" Good luck...

This is a much better article about the actual issue rather than just the politics.

You bought it, you own it. Thats it. The issue as I understand it is they claim the software is protected intellectual property so the fix is to include maintenance and service capacity within the OS so the owners can repair without needing to "hack" the software. Lots of manus doing this too and its a royal pita
Class action should be aimed at including access for service and repair by default. Then theres no need to access the intellectual property within the code. DoneHydrostream dreamin

That's the manufacturer protecting their dealer base..... making it so you have no choice but to get the dealer to fix it at a high rate. Mother Mercury is headed that way and Vovlo Penta has been doing it for years.......

try fixing a most modern diesels, dealer or you cant
can you fix an e-tec without a dealer?
its the emission laws that forced this issue, then copyright law protects it and then the manufacturer doesnt want to lose that intellectual property to a competitor so they lock it up

same a microsoft has been doing for years, you agree to the agreement or dont buy it.Last edited by powerabout; 09-23-2018 at 02:21 AM.

Clearly the push is on to control property that is purchased. The consumer base has three options;
1. eat it
2. hack it
3. fight it
All take work. Option 1 your work serves the interests of the corp. Option 2 your work serves your interests, but it proves challenging. Option 3 makes the corps work for the customer.
Which one sounds best to you?
The intellectual property security angle makes ZERO sense. The property is loaded onto all modules already. Adding the ability to service the machine within this does nothing to risk losing property. Thats like saying adding photoshop to a computer risks intellectual property losses from camera manufacturers. Nope, just another tool in the tool box.
First big company that includes this, will DOMINATE market. Wait and seeHydrostream dreamin

The big 3 are also lobbying the gov to close an exemption that was made to the copywrite law years ago re auto efi.
Was ok till cars had one computer and it has control of everything, engine trans abs traction stability control steering etc.
Now the manufacturers are worrying about liability when you let punters hack your software to repair or modify it.Last edited by powerabout; 09-23-2018 at 09:53 AM.
