Exactly. But the car companies are dragging the DMCA into it, precisely because it gives them an unprecedented amount of control over other people's property. That's the problem.

And, aside from all that, the old capitalist mantra still remains: competition. If one manufacturer (be it of whole cars or just replacement parts) can be convinced to let buyers play with their components (at least to some extent) then all manufacturers face losing out to that competition unless they offer the same. Are there enough petrol-heads to support such competition? - from what I've seen, I'd say yes. |

However this is where cromag's earlier example of manufacturers trying the same thing back before the software aspect comes into it. (You know, the post that some others scoffed at as irrelevant.) There are other issues that will come into play here, about anti-competitive practices and so on, that manufacturers will face if they try to take this too far. |

I thought that's the whole point of the argument: Copyright is a limited-time granted monopoly on intellectual property, and here automakers are trying to extend the blanket of that monopoly onto auto parts, mechanical services, and other things it was never intended to cover. i.e, use it anti-competitively. |
