Is That Legal? (Any Lawyers Out There?)
It seems to me that once I buy a car, I should be able to play with it without triggering an irreversible lockout. I'm no lawyer, but I bet there is case law that covers this--anyone out there know for sure?
(I once worked for a company that added a test to a mother board which disabled the device if clone parts were plugged in. The test was later removed before the company got slapped with a restraint of trade lawsuit. Not exactly the same thing as we're talking about here, but close, no?)
