thezguy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Never happen. Even if it did it would just spawn a "black market" there would always be a way around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 This is end user licensing. The agreement is usually to the original purchaser not to reverse engineer or decompile codes. What will eventually happen is whole computers will be available. Your proprietary one will get pulled out and set aside, and the aftermarket plug-n-play alternative will come into use. If big-brother approved. OEM's will battle with the Aftermarket, or keep their source codes open. I can already see a market amongst privacy advocates to hack the OBD "remote monitoring and data logging" features present for years. Flick a switch and dump the memory. That's an immediate need I can see some people would want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The way DMCA is written, it contains language that actually makes it illegal for you to work on your new car. Nobody enforces that though, thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
