I'm not sure that logic really holds, what part of the definition of ownership specifies this? If you drive your car without insurance it can be forcibly taken

  Toyota doesn't[1] get to modify your car without your permission. And yes, this means "nobody" owns the stuff they buy when someone else controls it. I take it you haven't seen Copy Doctorow's incredibly important talk[2] on this subject, which is the followup to his well-known talk about the War On General Purpose Computing. Never mind the car - if we don't stop this crap now, it won't be long before we see someone's prosthetic legs or cochlear implant "repossess itself". [1] Actually, cars are starting to have the same problems where they can be updated remotely, in addition to the copyright crap involving John Deere's explicit claim that you don't ever own their hardware.
