> Have you ever heard of an independent car repair shop being allowed access to the manufacturer’s factory floor ? Car manufacturers used to publish detailed (technical) manuals for all of their cars exactly so mechanics (owners, repair shops, etc) could work on their vehicles. In modern times though, manufacturers seem to be DRM-ing (and similar) as much as they can in order to capture the repair business for themselves. It's not a good look. :(
