Technically, you are right, but its not about the right to disassemble the drivers for your JD tractor, its really about the right to effectiveley own that machine. If you are not allowed to repair your own machine, you don't have ownership on it.
- Clownshoesms 10y agoI'd be infuriated if I bought that kind of machinery ($$$) and it was software killable. It's absurb people are defending this behaviour. The article mention's it's an end run around laws, so they can put whatever nonsense is allowed in a software license. If what I hear about the US south and their propensity for guns is true, they must be pissing off a lot of people I personally wouldn't mess with. Just waiting for a farmer to lose his rag when he can't fix a simple thing on a million dollar chunk of hardware.
