    If purchasing is not ownership, then pirating is not theft.

    I think more technically-gifted people need to look into these “subscription” systems, in order to find workarounds. Because if it comes with my car, it’s mine to do whatever the f**k I want with it.

      You’re right and that’s what should happen.

      That said, these scum capitalists own their own regulatory bodies through legalized bribery. I very much believe they would use that power and succeed in getting legislation passed to make such hacks a major, felonious crime, in the interest of “public safety.”

      The government likes this tech too, because it comes with a built in, always on connection, which just makes it easier and easier for agencies to gather intel on… everyone.
