Automakers to gearheads: Stop repairing cars

Automakers are supporting provisions in copyright law that could prohibit home mechanics and car enthusiasts from repairing and modifying their own vehicles.

You thought you own your car?

[j2k4]

Fuck'em.

[green-lantern]

No f-ing way!

You're in big trouble Paul, I think you've slightly modified your car from stock.

John Deere is on this, as well. Many farmers have been opting for older, non-computer controlled equipment, as a result.

Where's lawdogg? I'd like to hear what he thinks about this as he's in this field.

sure fire way to kill new sports car sales if not other genres as well. if something like this passes you might actually see a 20+ year old Mitsu sell for the $25K asking price.

[j2k4]

That would be excellent.

[green-lantern]

That would be excellent.

So you could buy a new car you can't work on?

[j2k4]

No, Paul, referring to Bobby's post.

No, Paul, referring to Bobby's post.

Yeah, sell yours for 25k and buy a new car you can't work on.

The fact that this idea has even garnered momentum is deeply disturbing

Yes it is.
